上keety 大侠提供的补丁生成的u-boot-1.1.3

这段时间不断有人问我u-boot 启动内核的问题，记得在上次提供的u-boot 源码中提到了go 的方案，不过其实u-boot 本来有一种更好的方案： bootm
花了不少时间，查看了论坛上不少的帖子，认真阅读了bootm的源码，终于使用bootm把内核给跑起来了，现把解决方法介绍如下：

一、在开始之前先说明一下bootm相关的东西。

1、首先说明一下，S3C2410架构下的bootm只对sdram中的内核镜像文件进行操作(好像AT91架构提供了一段从flash复制内核镜像的代码，不过针对s3c2410架构就没有这段代码，虽然可以在u-boot下添加这段代码，不过好像这个用处不大)，所以请确保你的内核镜像下载到sdram中，或者在bootcmd下把flash中的内核镜像复制到sdram中。

2、-a参数后是内核的运行地址，-e参数后是入口地址。

3、
1）如果我们没用mkimage对内核进行处理的话，那直接把内核下载到0x30008000再运行就行，内核会自解压运行（不过内核运行需要一个tag来传递参数，而这个tag建议是由bootloader提供的，在u-boot下默认是由bootm命令建立的）。

2）如果使用mkimage生成内核镜像文件的话，会在内核的前头加上了64byte的信息，供建立tag之用。bootm命令会首先判断bootm xxxx 这个指定的地址xxxx是否与-a指定的加载地址相同。
(1)如果不同的话会从这个地址开始提取出这个64byte的头部，对其进行分析，然后把去掉头部的内核复制到-a指定的load地址中去运行之
(2)如果相同的话那就让其原封不同的放在那，但-e指定的入口地址会推后64byte，以跳过这64byte的头部。

二、好，接着介绍使用mkimage生成镜像文件并下载运行的方法。

方法一、
1、首先，用u-boot/tools/mkimage 这个工具为你的内核加上u-boot 引导所需要的文件头，具体做法如下：
[root@localhost tftpboot]#mkimage -n 'linux-2.6.14' -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x30008000 -e 0x30008000 -d zImage zImage.img
Image Name: linux-2.6.14
Created: Fri Jan 12 17:14:50 2007
Image Type: ARM Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
Data Size: 1262504 Bytes = 1232.91 kB = 1.20 MB
Load Address: 0x30008000
Entry Point: 0x30008000

这里解释一下参数的意义：
-A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
-O ==> set operating system to 'os'
-T ==> set image type to 'type'
-C ==> set compression type 'comp'
-a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
-e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
-n ==> set image name to 'name'
-d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
-x ==> set XIP (execute in place)

2 、下载内核

1、首先，用u-boot/tools/mkimage 这个工具为你的内核加上u-boot 引导所需要的文件头，具体做法如下：
[root@localhost tftpboot]#mkimage -n 'linux-2.6.14' -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x30008000 -e 0x30008040 -d zImage zImage.img

三、固化

如果你想把镜像文件写入flash，每次开机后让u-boot帮你复制到sdram中，再使用bootm命令引导的话，可以按照这样操作：
sbc2410=>tftp 0x30008000 zImage.img
TFTP from server 192.168.1.115; our IP address is 192.168.1.128

done

NAND write: device 0 offset 196608, size 1900544 ... 1900544 bytes written: OK

设置u-boot启动命令：
1、针对方法一：
sbc2410=>setenv bootcmd nand read 0x31000000 0x30000 0x1d0000/;bootm 0x31000000

2、针对方法二：
