[U-Boot-Users] uImage's load address and entry point?

Hi,

I have built a uClinux kernel image vmlinux and the header information
is dumped here by objdump. I want to make a uImage to let u-boot start
linux and am confused about the values of load address and entry
point. If the uImage is built from raw binary linux.bin, the load
address and entry point should be set to 0. Right? If it is built from
vmlinux, the entry point in my case should be 0x00008000, what' should
be the load address?

Thanks,
-Shawn.

vmlinux:     file format elf32-littlearm
