[PATCH 3/3] image: android: handle ramdisk default address

Wed Oct 16 17:46:50 CEST 2024


The two tools that create android boot images, mkbootimg and the fastboot
client, set the kernel address by default to 0x11008000.

U-boot always honors this field, and will try to copy the ramdisk to
whatever value is set in the header, which won't be mapped to the actual RAM on
most platforms, resulting in the kernel obviously not booting.

All the targets in U-Boot right now will download the android boot image to
CONFIG_SYS_LOAD_ADDR, which means that it will already have been downloaded to
some location that is suitable to use the ramdisk in-place for header
version 0 to 2. For header version 3 and later, the ramdisk can't be
used in-place to use ramdisk_addr_r in this case.
