Subject: Can you add a signature to the kernel ELF image?
Date: Wed, 25 Nov 2009 08:46:51 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4B0C625B.5070408@shikadi.net> (raw)
Hi all,
I'm trying to port the kernel to an NCD HMX X-Terminal (MIPS R4600), but the
one thing I have to do before I can actually boot the image is attach a
signature to it. I have the signature 'code' in assembly[1], but I'm not sure
how to link it so that it ends up as the first bit of code in the ELF image
(the very first instruction is a 'b' to jump over the actual signature text.)
Without this the boot monitor will refuse to boot the kernel. Any suggestions
as to how I might accomplish this?
Many thanks,
Adam.
