"mkimage" not found

Hi,

I have just downloaded the new ELDK 3.0 installed and compiled for the EST8260 board.

With the previous ELDK2.0 I would have generated the image with the "make pImage" command while now I suppose the command "make uImage" must be used. Is this correct?

Then at the end of compilation process, I have the following message:
"mkimage" not found - U-boot Images will not be built.
I have checked the presence of mkimage as executable file (which exist because prior to compile the linux tree I have generate the U-boot executable) and its functionality (by calling it directly without script). Anybody has an idea where I am wrong?

Thanks

Gianfranco

This is correct, but "make pImage" will still work, too.

The "mkimage" should be in your PATH when using the ELDK - it gets installed in /opt/eldk/usr/bin/

Maybe your PATH ist not correct?

Best regards,

Dear Wolfgang

You are perfectly right! I didn't add the line "export PATH=$PATH:/opt/eldk/usr/bin" to .bashrc. Many thanks

"make

used.

unfortunately I had the following messages:

[gianfranco@home001 linux]$ make pImage
make: *** No rule to make target `pImage'. Stop. [gianfranco@home001 linux]$ grep -r pImage * arch/ppc/boot/Makefile:pImage: $(MKIMAGE) images/vmlinux.gz [gianfranco@home001 linux]$ grep -r uImage * arch/ppc/boot/Makefile:uImage \
arch/ppc/boot/Makefile: ln -sf vmlinux.UBoot images/uImage arch/ppc/Makefile:BOOT_TARGETS = zImage zImage.initrd znetboot znetboot.initrd uImage
CHANGELOG:Add support for U-Boot boot image "uImage" [gianfranco@home001 linux]$

Should I modify BOOT_TARGET into arch/ppc/Makefile?

Best regards

Dear Gianfranco,

Thanks for the confirmation.

...

As you like. Maybe it's better to get used to the U-Boot image name.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

AFAIK, uImage target does not exist for all linuxppc sources. I got my kernel sources from PenguinPPC bitkeeper so it does not have it. I just build vmlinux target and use the following steps to generate uImage (which is documented in U-Boot documentation)

(taken from my shell script that automates this stuff)

${CROSS_COMPILE}objcopy -O binary -R .note -R .comment -S vmlinux vmlinux.bin gzip -9 vmlinux.bin
$MKIMAGE -n "Linux Image" -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
-d vmlinux.bin.gz" uImage
