uboot开发笔记一之ralink mt7620编译

参考：

1.MTK_Ralink_ApSoC_SDK_4200_20131106.tar.bz2,这个ralink的sdk网上有，自行搜索;

MTK_Ralink_ApSoC_SDK_4200_20131106/Uboot

u-boot for mt7620 with uip 代码

https://github.com/cleanwrt/u-boot_mt7620

编译步骤： MTK_Ralink_ApSoC_SDK

export PATH=$PATH:~/MTK_Ralink_ApSoC_SDK_4200_20131106/RT288x_SDK/toolchain/buildroot-gcc463/usr/bin

make distclean

make menuconfig ---根据mt7620板子进行选择，生成.config文件，或者直接使用附录的.config文件

make CROSS_COMPILE=mipsel-linux-

编译步骤：ASUS wireless router  rt-n14u

export PATH=$PATH:~/asuswrt/tools/buildroot-gcc342/bin

cp config_14u .config 

or 

make menuconfig---根据mt7620板子进行选择，生成.config文件，或者直接使用附录的.config文件
make CROSS_COMPILE=mipsel-linux-

编译说明：

1.需要使用 MTK_Ralink_ApSoC_SDK_4200_20131106里面的交叉编译工具链MTK_Ralink_ApSoC_SDK_4200_20131106/RT288x_SDK/toolchain/buildroot-xxx/usr/bin，使用openwrt最新的工具链，编译失败;

2.这份uboot代码在中文linux操作系统下，有下面这个bug： ./tools/mkimage: invalid entry point -n

./tools/mkimage -A mips -T standalone -C none \

-a 0x80200000 -e \

-n "SPI Flash Image" \

-r DDR -s 16 -t 64 -u 32 \

-y 0xFF -z 0xFF -w 0xFF -d uboot.bin uboot.img

./tools/mkimage: invalid entry point -n

Makefile:256: recipe for target 'uboot.img' failed

make: *** [uboot.img] Error 1

Makefile

# -a $(TEXT_BASE) -e $(shell readelf -h u-boot | grep "Entry" | awk '{print $$4}') \

--->

-a $(TEXT_BASE) -e $(shell LANG=en_US readelf -h u-boot | grep "Entry" | awk '{print $$4}')

or

-a $(TEXT_BASE) -e $(shell readelf -h u-boot | grep "0x80200000" | awk '{print $$2}') \

在生成镜像的最后一步报告"invalid entry point -n"错误

http://www.oschina.net/question/1401799_178896

报告错误部分的源代码位于mkimage.c，相关程序如下所示（看样子是参数错误），

后来我将*argv全部打印出来发现：在ubuntu12.04下，Makefile文件中执行的语句展开后是

mkimage -A mips -O linux -T kernel -C lzma -a 80000000 -e 0x8000c310 -n "Linux Kernel Image" -d /home/usrname/Documents/RT288x_SDK/source/images/zImage.lzma /home/usrname/Documents/RT288x_SDK/source/images/usrname_uImage

argc的值是18，第12个参数“-e”后面紧接着的是代表入口地址的16进制参数；

但是在ubuntu14.04下，Makefile文件中执行的语句展开后是

mkimage -A mips -O linux -T kernel -C lzma -a 80000000 -e -n "Linux Kernel Image" -d /home/usrname/Documents/RT288x_SDK/source/images/zImage.lzma /home/usrname/Documents/RT288x_SDK/source/images/usrname_uImage

argc的值是17，正是“-e”参数后缺少了入口地址参数，而紧接着“-n”。所以程序就报告了“ nvalid entry point -n”，但是为何会缺少一个参数？

答案就在Ｍakefile里面找。Makefile中通过$(shell readelf -h $(ROOTDIR)/$(LINUXDIR)/vmlinux | grep "Ｅntry" | awk '{print $$4}') 查找入口点地址，但是我们在ubuntu14.04中readelf文件vmlinux才发现Entry竟然被汉化成了“入口点地址”，所以grep Entry肯定找不到啦。最后把“Entry”改成“入口点地址”，再把$$4改成$$2就可以完成编译了。

这种问题着实让人哭笑不得，看来做开发的系统最好还是别汉化。开发中出现疑难异常问题的时候也可以从系统的语言环境考虑下。
