关于android中的ramdisk.img及uImage无法包含驱动模块（*.ko）的问题

这几天一起在整理freescale的imx53的android源码，今天在编译android kernel的时候发现make menuconfig中配置成<M>模式的驱动模块没有加入编译

之前一直是按照原厂的资料运行下面命令编译内核的：

make uImage

通过查看kernel的makefile发些了一些蛛丝马迹，现在将工作笔记记录如下：

在imx_kernel下运行终端，输入如下命令查看kernel编译相关的一些信息

make help

将会看到如下和编译相关的命令和信息

可以看到很多编译相关的命令，如：make, make all, make clean, make uImage等等

经过测试发现运行make命令之后，在make menuconfig中配置成<M>的驱动模块都可以加入编译，但是再make uImage生成uImage文件烧到板子上的时候，在目标板上的文件系统里怎么也找不到那些*.ko文件，看了一上午android filesystem相关的资料，总算是找到了解决办法，就是通过修改android生成的ramdisk.img，用脚本把这些*.ko文件导入到android的filesystem中，下面代码就是实现整个过程的脚本：

#!/bin/shMAKE_KERNEL=$1#root dirKERNEL_DIR=$(pwd)#out dirOUT_DIR=${KERNEL_DIR}/．．／．．/out#modules install pathRAMDISK_DIR=ramdiskINSTALL_MOD_PATH=${OUT_DIR}/tmp/${RAMDISK_DIR}#echo "make kernel?(y,n)";read MAKE_KERNELecho    "******************************"echo    "*        Make Kernel         *"echo    "******************************"if [ "$MAKE_KERNEL"x = "n"x ]; thenecho "*** skip ***"elsemake -j4make uImage -j4cp arch/arm/boot/uImage ${OUT_DIR}fiecho    "******************************"echo    "*    Install modules         *"echo    "******************************"cd ${OUT_DIR}[ -e "tmp" ] || { echo "mkdir tmp"; mkdir tmp; }cp ./ramdisk.img ./tmp#上一次退出状态: 判断ramdisk.img是否存在case "$?" in"0")cd tmpmv ramdisk.img ramdisk.img.gzcd ./${RAMDISK_DIR}gunzip ramdisk.img.gz[ -e "${RAMDISK_DIR}" ] || { echo "mkdir ${RAMDISK_DIR}"; mkdir ${RAMDISK_DIR}; }cd ${RAMDISK_DIR}cpio -i -F ../ramdisk.imgcd ${KERNEL_DIR}make modules_install             #重点在这里，在kernel目录下运行此命令时，会把相关的*.ko文件install到由INSTALL_MOD_PATH指定的目录下！！cd ${INSTALL_MOD_PATH}find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip > ../ramdisk.imgcd ..echo    "******************************"echo    "*    Make uramdisk.img       *"echo    "******************************"mkimage -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -C none -a 0x70308000 -n "Android Root Filesystem" -d ./ramdisk.img ./uramdisk.imgmv uramdisk.img ./..cd ..rm -rf ./tmpcd ${KERNEL_DIR}echo "***OKAY***";;"1")echo "ramdisk.img文件不存在！！！！！！"rm -rf ./tmpcd ${KERNEL_DIR};;esac

经过这样的处理就可以向android源码生成的ramdisk.img中install任何我们自己的东西了，把uImage和uramdisk.img一起烧到板子上，通过串口查看，得到了我想要的东西，如下：
