Hello, I am upgrading my BSP to 2.6.25 and notice cuImage and treeImage. The source files both say Old U-Boot compatibility.
Someone please educate me (or point me to a good URL that explains) as to what the difference is. I want to be able to load the kernel image using an older U-Boot and currently use cuImage for 2.6.23 arch/powerpc (and plain uImage for older kernels under arch/ppc). Eventually, I want to generate both an old U-Boot compatible image and a new U-boot compatible image. I notice that some boards, the boot support is all in one file, in others, it is split between cuboot-<board>.c and <board>.c. In the case of ebony board, I see support for both cuImage and treeImage. Is the strcuture into multiple files to ensure that ebony supports both of these and new U-boot support as well? I would like to make my BSP modules lean and clean enough to eventually send back upstream to kernel.org. Also, if there are common snags / pitfalls I need to watch out for switching my BSP and DTS from 2.6.23 to 2.6.25, please warn me. I am using AMCC PPC405EP processor. Thanks in advance.
