DeviceTree Booting |
|
------------------ |
|
|
|
There is one single 32bit entry point to the kernel at code32_start, |
|
the decompressor (the real mode entry point goes to the same 32bit |
|
entry point once it switched into protected mode). That entry point |
|
supports one calling convention which is documented in |
|
Documentation/x86/boot.rst |
|
The physical pointer to the device-tree block is passed via setup_data |
|
which requires at least boot protocol 2.09. |
|
The type filed is defined as |
|
|
|
#define SETUP_DTB 2 |
|
|
|
This device-tree is used as an extension to the "boot page". As such it |
|
does not parse / consider data which is already covered by the boot |
|
page. This includes memory size, reserved ranges, command line arguments |
|
or initrd address. It simply holds information which can not be retrieved |
|
otherwise like interrupt routing or a list of devices behind an I2C bus.
