uClinux boot from epcs ?

You can use u-boot in such a design ... as it supports CF as well as epcs. If your

epcs is large enough, you could fit the entire kernel ... u-boot can load, decompress,

and boot a gzip/bzip kernel image (same goes for CF of course).

Currently, I load u-boot from epcs and then boot a gzipped kernel image (~520 KB)

either from parallel flash, a tftp server, or an NFS server. Same goes for the cramfs

filesystem (which gets stuffed into SDRAM as well).
