development host is to be booted old-style (non-FDT) by U-Boot on an embedded
target. Assume that the outcome of the build is vmlinux.bin.gz, a file which
contains a gzip-compressed PPC Linux kernel (the only data file in this case).
-The uImage can be produced using the image source file examples/kernel.its
-(note that kernel.its assumes that vmlinux.bin.gz is in the current working
-directory; if desired, an alternative path can be specified in the kernel.its
-file). Here's how to create the image and inspect its contents:

Consider another simple scenario, where a PPC Linux kernel is to be booted
new-style, i.e., with a FDT blob. In this case there are two prerequisite data
files: vmlinux.bin.gz (Linux kernel) and target.dtb (FDT blob). The uImage can
-be produced using image source file examples/kernel_fdt.its like this (note
-again, that both prerequisite data files are assumed to be present in the
-current working directory -- image source file kernel_fdt.its can be modified
-to take the files from some other location if needed):
