解压boot.img需要用到三个文件:mkbootfs、mkbootimg、split_bootimg.pl。前两个是编译完系统后生成的可执行程序,存在于out/host/linux-x86/bin下面。split_bootimg.pl是一个Perl写的脚本。
现在编译一个android4.3的系统,因为要改boot.img中的某个小东西又不想去重新编译boot,就想通过解压boot.img的方式来进行改动。在网上下载了一个split_bootimg.pl(分割boot的工具)文件,然后把系统中编译出来的mkbootfs(解压ramdisk的工具)和mkbootimg(重新打包签名boot.img的工具)拿出来,准备解压。
执行步骤:1. split_bootimg.pl boot.img (解压boot.img,得到boot.img-kernel,boot.img-ramdisk.gz)
2. mkdir ramdisk (解压boot.img.ramdisk.gz)
cd ramdisk
gzip -dc ../boot.img-ramdisk.gz | cpio -i
cd ..
一般我们需要改动的东西都在这个ramdisk当中,比如开机log(开机动画显示前显示的图片)、init.rc(系统启动是开启的服务项)、default.prop(系统配置文件)等等。
3. ./mkbootfs ./ramdisk | gzip > ramdisk-new.gz (使用mkbootfs工具将修改后的ramdisk重新打包)
4. ./mkbootimg --cmdline 'console=115200,n8 androidboot.console=ttyHSL0 androidboot.hardware=qcom user_debug=31 msm_rtb.filter=0x37' --base 0x00000000 --kernel boot.img-kernel --ramdisk ramdisk-new.gz -o bootnew.img
第四步是使用mkbootimg工具对整个boot.img重新打包,其中的--cmdline后面的引用号里的值是执行第一步就会打印出来的信息。 --base 0x0000000是基址,用于告诉手机从哪个地址开始,是准备给内存盘的入口,哪个地址是给kernel的入口。在boardconfig.h中存在地址偏移的define,一般是这个值,或者是0x00200000、0x20000000。
问题来了,整个过程执行下来也没有报任何错误,但是升级到机器里系统就启动不起来了。原因是在android4.x的boot里面加入了一个叫dt.img(device tree)的东西,少了这个东西boot是启动不起来的。原因也可以在split_bootimg.pl中看到,下面是split_bootimg.pl的代码:

以上文件做了点简单的注释,很明显,里面的代码只实现了解压kernel、ramdisk、second这几个文件出来,没有解压出dt.img,所以这个文件过时了,在新系统上不能适应。
通过研究测试,终于把这个文件改好了,我就直接上改好的文件吧,懒得写注释了,文笔又不好,写的乱七八糟。

对比一下就会发现,下面的文件中加上了dt.img的相关信息,解压打包后的boot.img升级OK,验证通过。
