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. - -Manuel Novoa III <mjn3@codepoet.org> May 30, 2004 - |
