hard problem: why did I download Linux kernel image to 0x1000 and ....

[snow_insky]

Why did I donwload linux kernel image to address 0x1000 but I run the kernel image from 0x2000 when I use CoLiLo bootloader?

Another, would you please give me a User Manual of CoLiLo? I cannot find it anywhere.

Thanks in advance!

There's a User's Guide on some of the CD-ROM images for the ColdFire installation. Look under the /Help/Software/ directory. It talks more about getting the Linux image installed and launched, rather than Colilo, which may be what you're really wanting to do. If you do need more information on Colilo, it is discussed--along with other bootloaders--in excruciating detail here. Start with the README file.

Any documents all say you should download the kernel image at address 0x1000 and run the image from 0x2000, but don't descript what's reason.

And I change the download address from 0x1000 to 0x2000 and run the image from 0x3000 but it doesn't work. How can I do?

I do want to know what make I must download kernel image to 0x1000 and run it from 0x2000.

It's a hard problem. Please help me!!!!!

Have you tried looking at application note AN2950? It has a step by step description for getting the kernel up and running. As you've said, it instructs you download to address 0x1000 and then use colilo to start execution from 0x2000. Why the difference? I'm not familiar with the product, but can speculate that the starting address of the binary image isn't necessarily the location of the image's entry point for execution (nor is it required to be). And being that the image probably doesn't use position-independent code, moving the image around in memory isn't going to help the situation.
