If +*image_addr* is not specified, the bootelf command will try to find image in +*image_load_addr* variable (*CONFIG\_SYS\_LOAD\_ADDR* by default). + +Args after *image_addr* will be passed to application in common *argc*, *argv* +format. + +A command sequence to run a ELF image using FDT might look like + +:: + + load mmc 0:1 ${loadaddr} /kernel.elf + load mmc 0:1 ${fdt_addr_r} /soc-board.dtb + bootelf -d ${fdt_addr_r} ${loadaddr} ${loadaddr} + +image_addr + Address of the ELF binary. + +fdt_addr + Address of the device-tree. This argument in only needed if bootable + application uses FDT that requires additional setup (like /memory node). + +arg + Any text arguments for bootable application. This is usually the address + of the device-tree. + +Flags: + +-p + Load ELF image via program headers. + +-s + Load ELF image via section headers. + +-d + Setup FDT by address. + +Configuration +------------- + +The bootelf command is only available if CONFIG_CMD_ELF=y. FDT setup by flag -d +need CONFIG_CMD_ELF_FDT_SETUP=y. |
