Program UBoot

Assuming your application entry point is the at the start of your uncompressed

binary image:

$ mkimage -A nios2 -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x01000000 -e 0x01000000

-n "MyApp v0.1 2005-02-22" -d MyApp.bin MyApp.img

Basically, you're just telling u-boot that your image is a linux kernel -- that fact

that it's not really a kernel doesn't matter. When bootm is executed it will copy

the image data to the load address then jump to the entry point after disabling interrupts (and a few other things).

If you want to use compression, you can compress your binary file using

gzip:

$ gzip -c MyApp.bin >> MyApp.gz

Then use "-C gzip" with mkimage and the compressed file (-d MyApp.gz). bootm

will then decompress as it copies from flash.
