RE: Problem with booting linux using u-boot

[<Dupas.External@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've tried what you advised the problem is that I haven't managed to put this image in flash since it is not an elf file.
furthermore I had erased the prebuilt image of linux thinking that I would replace it with a more recent one but I haven't managed to do so.
Then to make things clean I have loaded the image of linux from another versatile and placed it in flash exactly the same way than it was before but milo still can't find the kernel! howcome?
What must be put in flash? .bin, .img raw elf  .....I'm a bit upset
 
best regards

You should prepend the U-Boot header to the zImage file:

mkimage -A arm -T kernel -C none -a 0x7fc0 -e 0x8000 -n uzImage -d zImage uzImage

and write the newly generated uzImage file in flash instead of the
zImage one.
