Converting ramdisk .img file for U-Boot¶
Usually you get an .img file from official debian repositories. U-Boot can’t handle this to use it as a ramdisk file. To convert an .img file to an uInitrd for uboot, just run the following command inside a unix terminal:
mkimage -A arm -T ramdisk -C none -n uInitrd -d /path/to/initrd.img /path/to/uInitrd
