For LoongArch the start of the image is not the entry point to the image.
Looking at arch/loongarch/kernel/head.S there seem to be two cases:
- The kernel has an EFI stub (CONFIG_EFI_STUB=y). The legacy physical entry point is available at offset 0x08 of the
header.
- The kernel has no EFI stub. The kernel entry point matches the start of the image.
Where do you differentiate between the cases?
Hi Heinrich,
In case there is no EFI stub LoongArch would use elf format vmlinux, there is no real "raw" image for us.
bootelf can't be used at the moment as it doesn't setup FDT and other environments properly.
I'm planning to implement a bootlinuxelf command for this case, as MIPS, LoongArch, xtensa are all using ELF as default kernel image format.
Please note that we have CONFIG_CMD_ELF_FDT_SETUP already, so adjusting things so that bootelf works for this case should be doable without a new command.
