zImage Help.


Hi Friends,

I have done the following
- Redboot up and running with proper IP addresses.
- all the tests under 'ecosconfig new pc' works fine when loaded from the
/tftpboot folder via ethernet

1)
I want to load the kernel onto the pc. I have found a lot of posts on
RedBoot> load -r -b 0x8c210000 zImage  or so... but none where it specifies
how to create a zImage.
I would appreciate it if any one can tell me how to create a basic zImage so
that I can
load the kernel onto the pc. I could not find it in the ecos users guide. My
apologies if
I had missed it.

2)
I also remember reading somewhere that ecos programs dont need the kernel to
run. Is this correct?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
-Vijay
