Example of ARM based linux board using initramfs and serial console

This is our own board based on our own chip which among other things has
ARM926EJ-S (ARMv5TEJ) core.
There is no BSP yet, no Flash or USB drivers - only limited access to
the board over JTAG. We can boot the board up to the point when kernel
dies because there is no init. This why I need initramfs now.

  I'm confused.  You're trying to make a full Linux system on an
Arm-926 based board which doesn't already have a BSP which includes
Linux?  The kernel itself has run on the 926 for years.
