| thank you.

| is there a way to make zImage out of uImage again?

Not 100% certain but stripping the 64-byte U-Boot header that we add
will certainly devolve it somewhat.

| I am not really sure i understand what happens here (build script):
|
| ${CROSS_COMPILE}objcopy -O binary -R .note -R .comment -S
|  $1/arch/arm/boot/compressed/vmlinux $1/linux.bin

This is removing the note and comment sections from vmlinux

| mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a $START -e $START
|  -n "OM $PRODUCT $BRANCH""_$HEAD" -d $1/linux.bin $1/uImage-$PRODUCT.bin

This is adding a short U-Boot header in front of the kernel binary, it
has stuff like a datestamp and details about the kernel in it, together
with a short version name.
