Where LOADADDR is being used?

maniam — Wed, 26 Oct 2016 00:28:49 GMT

I am following the instructions in this link to change the Linux kernel configuration in NITROGEN6X board from Boundary Devices. My question is about exporting the LOADADDR in line 6.

As far as I remember, LOADADDR variable is needed in creating a uImage in 'make uImage' command. But we are not making a uImage here. Where exactly the LOADADDR is being used? More specifically in which make command?

make zImage

make modules

make dtbs

make -C ubuntunize tarball

Hello Mani Amoozadeh,

Indeed zImage does not require the LOADADDR parameter as far as I know.

Perhaps it was kept there from previous documents from where this document is based. However, I would ask people from Boundary Devices to be sure.

gary_bisson would you know why this parameter (LOADADDR) is kept on the document below when making zImage?

Hi,

This post is outdated. The LOADADDR is indeed useless here. It will be updated within two weeks.

Gary

Thanks! I have one more question about the above commands. I have created a new question about it here: https://community.nxp.com/message/845384
