Copy the data into RAM then flash:

UBOOT# install_ramdisk 'tftp 0x2200000 uRamdisk; era 0x2200000 +${filesize};cp.b 0x85000000 0x2200000 ${filesize}'
 
</pre></code>
 
Save the ramdisk size into an environmental variable:
 
 
 
<code><pre>
 
UBOOT# setenv ramdisksize 0x${filesize}; saveenv
 
</pre></code>
 
Update the boot parameters:
 
 
 
<code><pre>
 
UBOOT# setenv bootargs 'mem=120M console=ttyS0,115200n8 ip=dhcp root=/dev/ram0 rw initrd=0x85000000,8M'
 
UBOOT# setenv bootcmd 'cp.b 0x2200000 0x85000000 ${ramdisksize}; bootm'
