uImage Header Format Question


Since I am planning on only using U-Boot for development and bypassing it in production, I need to know the structure format of the U-Boot 64 Byte file header.

I know that this contains the image file name, version, and checksum but haven't yet found the structure definition and checksum algorithm. If I locate it this week before anyone posts it, I will post the answer. Thanks, Gary

That's Great. Thanks.

I just got all my NAND and Ethernet code done and everything was booting without U-Boot. However, without the header definition, I was just skipping the 64 bytes. Now, I can make sure the checksum is correct, etc.
