Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: zboot: put appended dtb into a section
Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2020 20:29:25 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201026122926.1774569-1-gch981213@gmail.com> (raw)
This will make a separated section for dtb appear in ELF, and we can
then use objcopy to patch a dtb into vmlinuz when RAW_APPENDED_DTB
is set in kernel config.
command to patch a dtb:
objcopy --set-section-flags=.appended_dtb=alloc,contents \
--update-section=.appended_dtb=<target>.dtb vmlinuz

This should supersede this patch on linux-mips:
