环境介绍
Win7 64 + Vmware 11 + ubuntu14.04 32
u-boot 版本：u-boot-2015-04
Linux kernel版本：linux-3.16.y
busybox版本：1_24_stable
交叉编译工具链：arm-linux-gnueabi-
qemu版本：stable-2.4
目的
本博文的目的是使用设备树来启动内核，这里有两种设备树传参方案，第一种是用u-boot，第二种是直接用Qemu启动kernel，然后在Qemu的命令行参数中利用-dtb将设备树文件传递过去。
关于设备树可以参考一下：http://www.cnblogs.com/pengdonglin137/p/4495056.html
步骤
1、配置u-boot
vexpress-a9的u-boot默认已经支持设备树了。
2、配置内核
vexpress-a9的kernel默认也已经支持了。
3、编译设备树
在内核源码根目录下执行如下命令：
make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- ARCH=arm O=./out_vexpress_3_16 dtbs
然后会在out_vexpress_3_16/arch/arm/boot/dts/下生产如下几个文件
vexpress-v2p-ca15_a7.dtb vexpress-v2p-ca15-tc1.dtb vexpress-v2p-ca5s.dtb vexpress-v2p-ca9.dtb
这里我们用vexpress-v2p-ca9.dtb，然后将其拷贝到/tftpboot下面
cp out_vexpress_3_16/arch/arm/boot/dts/vexpress-v2p-ca9.dtb /tftpboot/dtb
4、测试
执行如下命令
qemu-system-arm -M vexpress-a9
-kernel /root/tq2440_work/u-boot/u-boot/u-boot
-nographic
-m 512M
-net nic,vlan=0 -net tap,vlan=0,ifname=tap0
-sd /root/tq2440_work/busybox_study/a9rootfs.ext3
然后进入u-boot命令行模式，执行如下命令
setenv bootargs 'root=/dev/mmcblk0 console=ttyAMA0'
tftp 0x60003000 uImage
tftp 0x60500000 dtb
bootm 0x60003000 - 0x60500000
