Root Base address for boot?

[andyo70]

Anyone know the base address for boot.img? I'm tinkering.

Actually what I'm looking for is the base address of the kernel. I believe it's 0x00200000

Okay so this question was answered but a how to was never made on how to find the base address.

If you need to find your base address pull your .config using this code in adb

adb pull /proc/config.gz

then unzip it and open it in gedit or notepad++ or whatever your favorite txt editor is scroll down to CONFIG_PHYS_OFFSET= the numbers/letters after the equal sign are your base address. I figured it out after looking at the memory.h file in the source code where it says

/* physical offset of RAM */
#define PHYS_OFFSET UL(CONFIG_PHYS_OFFSET)

I'm not a hundred percent positive but after define PHYS_OFFSET UL it used to have the base address.
