Dear All,

and i download zImage throung serial.  Please see log.
Kernel does not boot up.

load entry_address=0x100000

I am trying to boot it up by downloding it into RAM. Is it necessary to flash it to boot up?
Please help me in the booting process.


Thanks and Regards,
Aleem

Hi,
What you can do is that :
load -r -b 0x100000 -h 192.168.49.173 /tftpboot/zImage
exec -c "console=ttymxc0 root=/dev/mtdblock2 rootfstype=jffs2 rw init=/linuxrc ip=none"

Greetings,
 
I've a similar problem albeit I'm using i.MX 27-ADS.
I am issuing following command,
exec -b 0x00100000 -l 0x00200000 -c "noinitrd console=ttySo,115200n8  
    root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=<Host IP>:/tftpboot/ltib/ init=/linuxrc
    ip=<Target IP>:<Host IP>"
 
o/p:
    entry=0xa0008000, target=0xa0008000
 
And  Serial terminal hangs forever, but I get to see boot messages on attached LCD display panel. I was even able to type and see characters on LCD through attached keyboard. But I believe we need a way to get into File System on Target, and serial connection seems to be only viable option.
 
So If you could let me know how I can keep the serial connection alive, having issued the "exec...." command.
 
 
Thanks,
Jaydeep

Don't you forget the image name?
load -r -b 0x100000 zImage

Then I advice you to launch the kernel with the exec command because you will to give arguments to the kernel, don't you?
