i just started digging into the new ARM multiplatform support in the kernel and ran across *exactly* this issue when trying to build a uImage for my new AM3517 experimenter kit: http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-omap [ at ] vger [ dot ] kernel [ dot ] org/msg84204.html i hadn't realized this, so i'm going to dig into it further. anyone out there currently playing with ARM multiplatform and want to comment? i'm assuming that this will require building an appropriate device tree for my system and supplying that to u-boot at boot time. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
