mkimage imximage / *.imx Binary

rvalvekar — Fri, 08 Mar 2019 13:15:23 GMT

Hello Community,

I am trying to build a bootloader image. I have succeeded in building the u-boot.bin and the additional binaries that are generated after make -j4.

I am trying to convert the u-boot.bin or u-boot.dtb files to *.imx files using mkimage command that is found in the tools. I am not able to get this part working.

Would like to get some help through anyone who as already tried this.

$ mkimage -A arm -O Linux -T imximage -d ../u-boot.dtb -n u-boot.imx

Forgive me if i might be going wrong in the tool execution.

Help much appreciated.
Thank You.

The Boot option for IMX8QX Processors is different from other Processor Types. The issue has been resolved. The imx-mkimage generates the proper binary file required for IMX8QX Processors.
