From e2b35f91b38f668976cc8a8e08843cf853d9be71 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christian Lamparter Date: Sun, 18 Mar 2018 22:51:07 +0100 Subject: apm821xx: switch MR24's initramfs to multi-image method The recent change to switch to gcc 7.3 broke the image generation code, as the kernel would no longer fit into KERNEL_SIZE. This patch fixes the issue by reworking the initramfs creation and packaging, which will get rid of the KERNEL_SIZE check in the process. This new initramfs can be loaded through the MR24 U-boot in the following way: => setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1 => setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,$baudrate => tftpboot c00000 192.168.1.2:meraki_mr24-initramfs-kernel.bin [...] Load address: 0xc00000 Loading: ################################################ [...] done Bytes transferred = 5952544 (5ad420 hex) => bootm $fileaddr \## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 00c00000 ... ...
