Bug ID: 12411
Summary: Kernel zImage is actually a uImage
Product: buildroot
Version: 2019.08.2
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5
Component: Other
Assignee: unassigned at buildroot.uclibc.org
Reporter: bradley.gamble at ncipher.com
CC: buildroot at uclibc.org
Target Milestone: ---
I am currently building the Linux kernel with Buildroot and have been
outputting a working, bootable uImage file without issue.
A snippet of my config file:
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL=y
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_VERSION=y
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_VERSION_VALUE="5.1.9"
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_USE_CUSTOM_CONFIG=y
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_CONFIG_FILE="$(BR2_EXTERNAL)/board/linux-config/platform_defconfig"
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_DTS_SUPPORT=y
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_DTS_PATH="$(BR2_EXTERNAL)/board/device-tree/platform.dts"
I wanted to instead output a zImage file. I added the following line to the
config:
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_ZIMAGE=y
After a full rebuild (for snity) a zImage file is output to the
"./output/images/" directory, however the file is not actually a zImage:
$ file zImage
zImage: u-boot legacy uImage, Linux-5.1.9, Linux/PowerPC, OS Kernel Image
(gzip), 4304978 bytes, Mon Dec 16 14:39:07 2019, Load Address: 0x00000000,
Entry Point: 0x00000000, Header CRC: 0x43D672C7, Data CRC: 0x4FF108C3
I am able to manually truncate the first 64 bytes which will give me a working
zImage file, however I expected Buildroot to give me an actual zImage file, not
requiring any manual modification.
