我的疑问是上面代码标红的部分的意义是什么?确切的说,IMX6Q既然规定了IVT在不同的boot devices中的偏移地址,比如我的应用场景是emmc,偏移地址是0x400(1K),那么我的uboot镜像完全可以按照:IVT+uboot本体的格式来构建,这样一来当使用mfg工具烧写uboot镜像时就可以用以下的命令来执行:
<CMD state="Updater" type="push" body="$ dd if=$FILE of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=512 seek=2 ">write U-Boot to sd card</CMD>
而不是默认的命令(跳过uboot.bin前0x400的字节):
<CMD state="Updater" type="push" body="$ dd if=$FILE of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=512 seek=2 skip=2">write U-Boot to sd card</CMD>
这样看,那么flash_header.S前面的0x400字节是不是多余的呢,还是有什么特别的用处,如果直接把这种uboot.bin烧写到emmc的0x400处(不跳过uboot.bin前0x400的字节,即b _start, .org CONFIG_FLASH_HEADER_OFFSET),那是不是就直接会调整到_start函数开始执行,而不会进行DCD相关的配置?
