From 44f074c771c4b70d250b0d7ed2f7513488c678bb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marek Vasut Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2012 21:52:45 +0000 Subject: BOOT: Add "bootz" command to boot Linux zImage on ARM This command boots Linux zImage from where the zImage is loaded to. Passing initrd and fdt is supported. Tested on i.MX28 based DENX M28EVK Tested on PXA270 based Voipac PXA270. NOTE: This currently only supports ARM, but other architectures can be easily added by defining bootz_setup().
