[boot-wrapper PATCH 07/12] aarch64: respect text offset

Mark Rutland mark.rutland at arm.com
Thu Jul 29 08:20:45 PDT 2021


The boot-wrapper assumes that an AArch64 kernel's text offset is 0x80000
rather than reading the `text_offset` field from the Image header as the
documentation says it should.

Add a script to figure this out during the build process. As with FDT.pm
the parsing of the Image (and common logic associated with this) is
factored into a module that we may use in more scripts in future.
