You can find it by objdump vmlinux -x | grep "start address" where, vmlinux is the image from which uImage was built.start address = 0xC0008000 . but when we are in uboot, we have physical address, no mmu on. here, bootm takes physical address of sdram. So, can i load to any address and boot ?
You can use any "Physical address" except the address range in which u-boot is running. And one more requirement is: there should be enough memory space from that address, so that it can accommodate whole "uImage".
Hope this helps, Jigar
