[yocto] [meta-raspberrypi] u-boot doesnt boot kernel

[Daniel.]

Hi Hammad,

As Paul said the u-boot need some configuration so it can boot the
kernel. Usually it looks for bootcmd variable and try to run it so at
last this variable need to be setted. User's usually make this one
(bootcmd) call a miriad of another commands to retrieve kernel from
ftp, or nand, load it to memoby and boot it.

Take a look at www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/Manual for more information.
