FIRST... See the dedication in the decompress_bunzip2.c file as it applies
|
||
|
|
here too. Donations to hospice in Toni's memory would be appreciated.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As far as the code goes... the bzImage is just a bzip'd kernel image with
|
||
|
|
a small gzip'd decompressor/loader stuck on front. CFE ungzip's the loader
|
||
|
|
app which then relocates the bunzip decompressor into higher memory and
|
||
|
|
bunzip's the compressed kernel directly from flash. Then the instruction
|
||
|
|
cache is flushed (to remove traces of the loader) and the kernel is executed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Of course, a better approach would be to add bunzip decompression to CFE.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Notes...
|
||
|
|
1) Instruction cache size and linesize are hardcoded (see the #warning).
|
||
|
|
2) Currently assumes at least 16M or ram.
|
||
|
|
3) Thanks to Mike Baker mbm at alt dot org for bouncing ideas back
|
||
|
|
and forth as well as diagnosing the last (icache) bug.
