[u-boot] How to merge kernel + rootfs + dts to 1 file?


Dear Sir.

Every time thanks your advise.

I have a 3 file. see below

1. kernel image(zImage)
2. rootfs image(initrd)
3. DTB file

I'm want to merge this 3 files to 1 image file. that use mkimage utility.

I'm already know "how to use mkimage". my command see below

Code:
mkimage -A arm -T kernel -C none -a 0x20100000 -e 0x20100000 -n "my image" -d zImage rootfs.initrd my.dtb myimage.bin
And. I'm use the "bootm" command on u-boot(Ver 2015.01)

Code:
U-boot > tftp 0x22000000 myimage.bin
U-boot > bootm 0x22000000
But u-boot can't found rootfs.initrd and myimage.dtb in myimage.bin


Please advise to me.



PS1. I'm already success boot. But not merge 3 file to 1 file.
Code:
tftp 0x21000000 zImage
tftp 0x22000000 rootfs.initrd
tftp 0x23000000 my.dtb

U-boot > bootm 0x21000000 0x22000000 0x23000000
So, each image is correct for U-boot.

PS2. Another case. can't boot
Code:
 cat zImage my.dtb > tmp
 mkimage -A arm -T kernel -C none -a 0x20100000 -e 0x20100000 \
    -n "My image" \
    -d tmp my.image
Code:
U-boot > tftp 0x21000000 my.image
U-boot > bootm 0x21000000
