Bug#845779: flash-kernel: flashkernel uses mkimage -A arm on arm64
Package: flash-kernel
Version: 3.71
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I want to get the Hardkernel Odroid C2 supported by flash-kernel.
It is a 64bit system.
Unfortunately in file /usr/share/flash-kernel/functions the functions
mkimage_kernel() and mkimage_initrd() both call mkimage with argument
-A arm .
This is incorrect. On 64bit arm systems you have to use
-A arm64 .
Otherwise neither u-boot nor the kernel can read the images.
I suggest to use `uname -m` to determine the architectue.
If it is aarch64 use mkimage -A arm64.
Best regards
Heinrich Schuchardt
