mkimage -n 'linux-2.6.32.2' -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x30008000 -e 0x30008040 -d zImage zImage.img
注意：-e 0x30008040，而不是-e 0x30008000，否则kernel启动不了！！！
uboot源代码的tools/目录下有mkimage工具，这个工具可以用来制作不压缩或者压缩的多种可启动映象文件。
mkimage在制作映象文件的时候，是在原来的可执行映象文件的前面加上一个0x40字节的头，记录参数所指定的信息，这样uboot才能识别这个映象是针对哪个CPU体系结构的，哪个OS的，哪种类型，加载内存中的哪个位置， 入口点在内存的那个位置以及映象名是什么
root@Glym:/tftpboot# ./mkimage
Usage: ./mkimage -l image
-l ==> list image header information
./mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep -n name -d data_file[:data_file...] image
-A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
-O ==> set operating system to 'os'
-T ==> set image type to 'type'
-C ==> set compression type 'comp'
-a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
-e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
-n ==> set image name to 'name'
-d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
-x ==> set XIP (execute in place)
参数说明：
-A 指定CPU的体系结构：
取值 表示的体系结构
alpha Alpha
arm A RM
x86 Intel x86
ia64 IA64
mips MIPS
mips64 MIPS 64 Bit
ppc PowerPC
s390 IBM S390
sh SuperH
sparc SPARC
sparc64 SPARC 64 Bit
m68k MC68000
-O 指定操作系统类型，可以取以下值：
openbsd、netbsd、freebsd、4_4bsd、linux、svr4、esix、solaris、irix、sco、dell、ncr、lynxos、vxworks、psos、qnx、u-boot、rtems、artos
-T 指定映象类型，可以取以下值：
standalone、kernel、ramdisk、multi、firmware、script、filesystem
-C 指定映象压缩方式，可以取以下值：
none 不压缩
gzip 用gzip的压缩方式
bzip2 用bzip2的压缩方式
-a 指定映象在内存中的加载地址，映象下载到内存中时，要按照用mkimage制作映象时，这个参数所指定的地址值来下载
-e 指定映象运行的入口点地址，这个地址就是-a参数指定的值加上0x40（因为前面有个mkimage添加的0x40个字节的头）
-n 指定映象名
-d 指定制作映象的源文件
一、在开始之前先说明一下bootm相关的东西。
1、 首先说明一下，S3C2410架构下的bootm只对sdram中的内核镜像文件进行操作(好像AT91架构提供了一段从flash复制内核镜像的代码， 不过针对s3c2410架构就没有这段代码，虽然可以在u-boot下添加这段代码，不过好像这个用处不大)，所以请确保你的内核镜像下载到sdram 中，或者在bootcmd下把flash中的内核镜像复制到sdram中。
2、-a参数后是内核的运行地址，-e参数后是入口地址。
3、
1）如果我们没用mkimage对内核进行处理的话，那直接把内核下载到0x30008000再运行就行，内核会自解压运行（不过内核运行需要一个tag来传递参数，而这个tag建议是由bootloader提供的，在u-boot下默认是由bootm命令建立的）。
2）如果使用mkimage生成内核镜像文件的话，会在内核的前头加上了64byte的信息，供建立tag之用。bootm命令会首先判断bootm xxxx 这个指定的地址xxxx是否与-a指定的加载地址相同。
(1)如果不同的话会从这个地址开始提取出这个64byte的头部，对其进行分析，然后把去掉头部的内核复制到-a指定的load地址中去运行之
(2)如果相同的话那就让其原封不同的放在那，但-e指定的入口地址会推后64byte，以跳过这64byte的头部。
二、好，接着介绍使用mkimage生成镜像文件并下载运行的方法。
方法一、
1、首先，用u-boot/tools/mkimage这个工具为你的内核加上u-boot引导所需要的文件头，具体做法如下：
[root@localhost
tftpboot]#mkimage -n 'linux-2.6.14' -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none
-a 0x30008000 -e 0x30008000 -d zImage zImage.img
Image Name: linux-2.6.14

Data Size: 1262504 Bytes = 1232.91 kB = 1.20 MB
Load Address: 0x30008000
Entry Point: 0x30008000
这里解释一下参数的意义：
-A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
-O ==> set operating system to 'os'
-T ==> set image type to 'type'
-C ==> set compression type 'comp'
-a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
-e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
-n ==> set image name to 'name'
-d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
-x ==> set XIP (execute in place)
