[U-Boot] Uboot booting RTOS

[rahanesh at tataelxsi.co.in]

Hi,

For the time being can I load RTOS using any elf loader through serial port.
Does U boot have any elf loader. 

How can I load a RTOS image(elf format) to memory through Serial cable from
uboot terminal?

Thanks
Rahanesh

Yes.  Use "nand read" to copy the image into RAM, then jump to it using
whatever mechanism is appropriate for your image.
