Thanks Zoran, I did see that link and your post to run mkimage. Did you get zImage-initramfs? I have to admit, I lost in that long email discussion with different approaches, I tried all set up, but there is no zImage-initramfs to be generated, files built in deploy/images just could not be used to run uuu on imx6 RAM.
There is post for add KERNEL_INITRAMFS = "-initramfs", it looks like very close to generate zImage-initramfs, but I could still not get it :-(. Thank you very much.
