[U-Boot] iminfo and zImages

[Andy Rea]

Is it just not possible for the zImages in RAM to be decoded as per the
uImages ?

 

If I simply use mkimage to convert the image back as a uImage ( essentially
take off the first 64 bytes ? ) then iminfo will display the kernel info

 

The uImage file is only 64 bytes smaller so hasn't fundamentally been
uncompressed but also offsetting the iminfo by the 64 bytes makes no odds
either

 

Did I miss the point somewhere?!

 

 

 

 

=> tftp 82000000 uImage

done

Bytes transferred = 7954944 (796200 hex)

=> iminfo
