What is difference between U-boot.bin and uImage.bin
17,655
uboot.bin
is the bootloader, i.e. uboot, uImage.bin
is the kernel image
Usually, in embedded systems the NAND flash is partitioned in four parts:
- A partition for the bootloader (here goes uboot.bin)
- A small partition where uboot saves its environment variables
- A partition for the kernel (here goes uImage.bin)
- A partition for the rootfs

I am confused between the
u-boot.bin
anduImage.bin
. I guessuImage.bin
is nothing but the compressed version ofu-boot.bin
and it size should be less thanu-boot.bin
. But in my build environment what I found isu-boot.bin
size is lesser thanuImage.bin
.Could anybody let me know what is difference between
u-boot.bin
anduImage.bin
??
