Title: Building boot-image for Firefly Reload
HI

I am trying to build a new boot-image for Firefly Reload board without success. I am using the mkbootimg-script, but i have now glue how to set up correct parameters. I have tried for example the following:
mkbootimg --kernel /rockchip-linux/kernel/arch/arm/boot/zImage --ramdisk initrd.img -o boot_v4.img.  It build a new file, but when I flashed it onto eMMC memory of the Filrefly Reload board into boot-partition, board does not boot up.

I have also used the following longer parameter settings for mkbootimg:

mkbootimg --base 60400000 --pagesize 16384 --ramdisk_offset 62000000 --second_offset 60f00000 --tags_offset 60088000 --kernel /rockchip-linux/kernel/arch/arm/boot/zImage --ramdisk ramdisk.cpio.gz --second /rockchip-linux/kernel/resource.img -o boot_v4.img

This script made on new boot_v4.img, but board does not boot up.  I have forced to step back and flash old boot_original.img into boot-partiton of the board. This boot up normally!

So my question is, how can I make a suitable boot-file for Firefly Reload board?

try to run (truncate -s "%4" initrd.img) first , and mkbootimg again

I build a new initrd.img and I truncate it with parameters -s %4.  Then I made a new boot_29.img using the mkbootimg-script. Then I flashed it on the eMMC memory of the Firefly Reload board.  What I noticed is that this boot image was much shorter in size than original boot_original.img, which is the only one, which works.  I cannot make a new bootable image for Firefly Reload.

My question is:

What are the exact steps in order to make new boot-image for Firefly Reload board?

So I need more detailed instructions how to build working boot.img for Firefly Reload board!

The Firefly Reload Board does not enter to loading kernel.  It stops forever waiting to start kernel.  

What can I do to solve this issue?
