I'd noted in email that arch/mips/boot/vmlinux.bin is looks like the
stripped file we were looking for. But it doesn't load:
RedBoot> load -m tftp -h 192.168.1.6 mthebeau/vmlinux.bin
Unrecognized image type: 0x0
I was able to load the larger vmlinux and boot it.
And as previously noted by , using
tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/mips32-poky-linux/mips-poky-linux-strip would
get a bootable image as well from the vmlinux.
I'll try to figure out what the difference is between that and vmlinux.bin.
