My version of U-Boot complains if I compile out LZMA support: --- => tftpboot 0x81000000 uImage; tftpboot 0x84000000 hawkeye.dtb; bootm 0x81000000 - 0x84000000 (snip) Bytes transferred = 7349 (1cb5 hex) ## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 81000000 ... Image Name: Linux-5.1.0-rc1 Image Type: MIPS Linux Kernel Image (lzma compressed) Data Size: 1465871 Bytes = 1.4 MiB Load Address: 80000000 Entry Point: 80344338 Verifying Checksum ... OK ## Flattened Device Tree blob at 84000000 Booting using the fdt blob at 0x84000000 Uncompressing Kernel Image ... Unimplemented compression type 3 exit not allowed from main input shell. => ---
Thanks, George
