Error in Kernel Image while booting

Question

Actually i am trying to boot linux on mine Zedboard(having zync SoC with ARM cortex-A9 processor). But getting no success. Here i will share the story till now:-

1- I have done first partition of mine SD card and given it name Boot and i copied following things here:-

BOOT.bin

uEnv.txt

devicetree.dtb

uImage

uramdisk.image.gz

2- Now i am trying to boot it from SD card but it is not happening and i am getting the following message. In this message i have highlighted the error message specially along with other relevant message that i have got in mine tty terminal.

3- The content of mine uenv.txt file is as follows:-

boot_Zed=mmcinfo;fatload mmc 0 0x3000000 ${kernel_image}; fatload mmc 0 0x2A00000 ${devicetree_image}; fatload mmc 0 0x2000000 ${ramdisk_image}; bootm 0x3000000 0x2000000 0x2A00000
uenvcmd=run boot_Zed 

4- I have created the ramdiskimage by following command:-

mkimage -A ARM -T ramdisk -C gzip -n 'ZED filesystem' -d ramdisk.image.gz uramdisk.image.gz

Upon execution of above command i got the following message:-

So based on mine above information please can u please tell/suggest me the solution of mine problem.

Answer 1

You have not passed a load address to mkimage. Try to add -a 0x2000000 parameter to it. Also -C gzip parameter may be wrong because you take input file that is already compressed. Try to use -C none instead.
