Details

atags is a binary structure containing the ARM kernel tagged list from the Bootloader.
It is the (now deprecated) predecessor of a device-tree block (dtb).

atags contains memory configuration and the kernel cmdline.

They are enabled by CONFIG_ATAGS and CONFIG_ATAGS_PROC. atags is provided by atags_proc.ko.

Excerpt from the Kernel.org Booting ARM Linux documentation:

4. Setup boot data
------------------

The boot loader must provide either a tagged list or a dtb image for
passing configuration data to the kernel.  The physical address of the
boot data is passed to the kernel in register r2.

4a. Setup the kernel tagged list
--------------------------------

The boot loader must create and initialise the kernel tagged list.
A valid tagged list starts with ATAG_CORE and ends with ATAG_NONE.
The ATAG_CORE tag may or may not be empty.  An empty ATAG_CORE tag
has the size field set to '2' (0x00000002).  The ATAG_NONE must set
the size field to zero.

A ** in the Mod column marks info from Supportdata2 probes, which will always stay incomplete.
A - in the Mod column marks manual research, the Firmware then shows where the Object occurs, not the Relation.

Model-Matrix

Daily updated index of the presence, path and size of this object for each model. Last update: 2024-04-23 04:24 GMT.
Showing all models using this object. Click any column header (click-wait-click) to sort the list by the respective data.
The (main/scrpn/boot/arm/prx/atom) label in the Model column shows which CPU is meant for models with multiple Linux instances.
Note that this list comes from Supportdata2 probes, which can have arbitrary settings and come from different firmware versions.
It doesn't say much if a model is not listed here. It may be a missing supportdata2 file or just a disabled feature.

Help Supportdata2

The data in this article is incomplete since it was manually collected using the Supportdata2 project.

Unlike the Supportdata-Probes which have been collected for years Supportdata2 is brand new and only has a few probes.
If you have access to a shell then please help to extend the Supportdata2 collection to improve this data.

It's easy and it's done in minutes. Please send created data as an Email attachment to the address listed here. Thanks!
