add all source code from linksys/broadcom which is free, to cvs for better maintainence inside
openwrt. this gives us the ability to better support different hardware models, without changing any external tar-balls. only et.o and wl.o is missing and is fetched from my webserver. git-svn-id: svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk/openwrt@379 3c298f89-4303-0410-b956-a3cf2f4a3e73

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.
