How do we have to give that information to the kernel as the start address of the rootfs will be different depending on the embedded boards? Do we have to do that in any configuration related files in kernel compiling or hard code in the kernel C files by editing? Please help! Last edited by ayyasprings; 10-14-2014 at 10:14 AM.
