1、mkimage工具的源码

(1)mkimage是uboot下面的一个工具，用来将zImage制作成uImage，制作内核启动镜像(给zImage镜像添加64字节的头信息成uImage)；
(2)mkimage的源码在"uboot/tool"目录下，在编译uboot时默认会编译出mkimage工具；

2、mkimage工具的使用方法

root@daizhixin-virtual-machine:# ./mkimage 
Usage: ./mkimage -l image-l ==> list image header information./mkimage [-x] -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep -n name -d data_file[:data_file...] image-A ==> set architecture to 'arch' -O ==> set operating system to 'os'	-T ==> set image type to 'type'-C ==> set compression type 'comp'-a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)-e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)-n ==> set image name to 'name'-d ==> use image data from 'datafile'-x ==> set XIP (execute in place)./mkimage [-D dtc_options] -f fit-image.its fit-image


-A	指定CPU的架构，比如：arm或者x86
-O	指定操作系统的类型，比如：linux
-T	指定镜像的类型，比如：standalone、kernel、ramdisk、multi、firmware、script、filesystem
-C	指定压缩的方式，比如：none 不压缩、gzip 用gzip的压缩方式、bzip2 用bzip2的压缩方式
-a	指定镜像在内存中的加载地址
-e	指定镜像运行的入口点地址
-n	指定镜像的名字
-d	指定制作镜像的源文件
-x	镜像是否可以片上执行

3、mkimage添加的64字节头解析
