[U-Boot] LZMA support

[Luigi Mantellini]

Hi Prafulla,

This is my code to create the uimage:

# create flat binary
$(CROSS)objcopy -O binary -S $(LINUX_DIR)/vmlinux $(KDIR)/vmlinux.bin

# compress
$(TOOLS)/bin/lzma e $(KDIR)/vmlinux.bin $(KDIR)/vmlinux.lzma

# create uimage
export KERNEL_ENTRY=`$(CROSS)objdump -x $(LINUX_DIR)/vmlinux |grep -i
kernel_entry|cut -d " " -f 1` ;\
          mkimage -A mips -O linux -T kernel -C lzma -a 0x80010000 -e
$$$$KERNEL_ENTRY \
           -n 'IDF ONU BOARD Image-$(LINUX_VERSION)' \
           -d $(KDIR)/vmlinux.lzma $(KDIR)/uImage

I use everyday this script (picked from OpenWRT) to build my firmware image.

best regards,

luigi
