一來到void start_armboot (void)函數,馬上出現兩個很重要的數據結構gd_t和bd_t
1、gd_t : global data數據結構定義,位於文件 include/asm-arm/global_data.h。其成員主要是一些全局的系統初始化參數。
typedef struct global_data {
bd_t *bd; // struct board_info指針,保存板子信息
unsigned long flags; // 指示標誌,如設備已經初始化標誌等
unsigned long baudrate;
unsigned long have_console; /* serial_init() was called */
unsigned long reloc_off; /* Relocation Offset */
unsigned long env_addr; /* Address of Environment struct 環境參數地址*/
unsigned long env_valid; /* Checksum of Environment valid? */
unsigned long fb_base; /* base address of frame buffer */
#ifdef CONFIG_VFD
unsigned char vfd_type; /* display type */
#endif
#if 0
unsigned long cpu_clk; /* CPU clock in Hz! */
unsigned long bus_clk;
unsigned long ram_size; /* RAM size */
unsigned long reset_status; /* reset status register at boot */
#endif
void **jt; /* jump table */
} gd_t;
2.、bd_t :board info數據結構定義,位於文件 include/asm-arm/u-boot.h。保存板子參數。
typedef struct bd_info {
int bi_baudrate; /* serial console baudrate */
unsigned long bi_ip_addr; /* IP Address */
unsigned char bi_enetaddr[6]; /* Ethernet adress */
struct environment_s *bi_env;
ulong bi_arch_number; /* unique id for this board 板子ID號*/
ulong bi_boot_params; /* where this board expects params */
struct /* RAM configuration */
{
ulong start;
ulong size;
} bi_dram[CONFIG_NR_DRAM_BANKS];
#ifdef CONFIG_HAS_ETH1
/* second onboard ethernet port */
unsigned char bi_enet1addr[6];
#endif
} bd_t;
分配一個存儲全局數據的區域,地 址給指針 gd
gd = (gd_t*)(_armboot_start - CFG_MALLOC_LEN - sizeof(gd_t));
清0並分配空間
memset ((void*)gd, 0, sizeof (gd_t));
在gd前面的位置給 gd->bd賦值地址
gd->bd = (bd_t*)((char*)gd - sizeof(bd_t));
清0並分配空間
memset (gd->bd, 0, sizeof (bd_t));
執行一系列初始化函數
for (init_fnc_ptr = init_sequence; *init_fnc_ptr; ++init_fnc_ptr) {
if ((*init_fnc_ptr)() != 0) {
hang ();
}
}
假如函數指針指向的函數返回值不爲0,那麼在hang()裏就會死循環,初始化失敗
void hang (void)
{
puts ("### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ###\n");
for (;;);
}
函數列表如下:
每個初始化函數正常情況下返回值是0
init_fnc_t *init_sequence[] = {
cpu_init, /* 初始化irq/fiq模式的棧*/
board_init, /* 設置系統時鐘*/
interrupt_init, /*初始化定時器*/
env_init, /* 檢查flash上的環境參數是否有效*/
init_baudrate, /* 初始化波特率*/
serial_init, /* 初始化串口*/
console_init_f, /*初始化串口控制檯*/
display_banner, /* say that we are here */
接着進行一些NOR FLASH,LCD,串口,控制檯,sd卡,網卡等初始化,不一一列舉了。
終於來到重要的時刻了 - -#
進入一個死循環
for (;;)
{
main_loop ();
}
繼續跟蹤
發現在bootdelay時間內按下鍵進入命令行,用run_command來解析命令
#if defined(CONFIG_BOOTDELAY) && (CONFIG_BOOTDELAY >= 0)
s = getenv ("bootdelay");
bootdelay = s ? (int)simple_strtol(s, NULL, 10) : CONFIG_BOOTDELAY;
debug ("### main_loop entered: bootdelay=%d\n\n", bootdelay);
如果CONFIG_BOOTDELAY已經定義,用s得到環境變量bootdelay,然後倒數啓動內核
#ifdef CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
if (bootlimit && (bootcount > bootlimit)) {
printf ("Warning: Bootlimit (%u) exceeded. Using altbootcmd.\n",
(unsigned)bootlimit);
s = getenv ("altbootcmd");
}
else
#endif /* CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT */
s = getenv ("bootcmd");
CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT是設置u-boot啓動次數的限制
最後s = getenv ("bootcmd");獲得啓動參數
run_command (s, 0);
啓動命令解析
在run_command 函數裏最終執行命令
/* OK - call function to do the command */
if ((cmdtp->cmd) (cmdtp, flag, argc, argv) != 0) {
rc = -1;
}
這是一個命令結構體,原型如下:
struct cmd_tbl_s {
char *name; /* Command Name */
int maxargs; /* 最大的參數個數 */
int repeatable; /* 命令可否重複 */
int (*cmd)(struct cmd_tbl_s *, int, int, char *[]);/*對應的函數指針*/
char *usage; /* Usage message (short) */
正常情況下就會執行U_BOOT_CMD命令,U_BOOT_CMD宏定義一個命令,命令宏原型如下:
/*命令宏U_BOOT_CMD*/
#define U_BOOT_CMD(name,maxargs,rep,cmd,usage,help) \
cmd_tbl_t __u_boot_cmd_##name Struct_Section = {#name, maxargs, rep, cmd, usage, help}
假若上面是傳入的是一個bootm命令啓動內核,將會調用相應的
U_BOOT_CMD(
bootm, CFG_MAXARGS, 1, do_bootm,
"bootm - boot application image from memory\n",
"[addr [arg ...]]\n - boot application image stored in memory\n"
"\tpassing arguments 'arg ...'; when booting a Linux kernel,\n"
"\t'arg' can be the address of an initrd image\n"
在do_bootm函數裏,將用switch case檢查內核zImage類型,解壓方式,操作系統等,因爲zImage是自解壓的,不用解壓
switch (hdr->ih_os) {
default: /* handled by (original) Linux case */
case IH_OS_LINUX:
do_bootm_linux (cmdtp, flag, argc, argv,
addr, len_ptr, verify);
break;
最後,將進入Armlinux.c的do_bootm_linux函數啓動Linux內核
U_Boot也是通過標記列表向內核傳遞參數的
#ifdef CONFIG_CMDLINE_TAG
char *commandline = getenv ("bootargs");
#endif
CONFIG_CMDLINE_TAG在smdk2410.h裏已經定義了
theKernel指向內核 存放的地址,(對於ARM架構的CPU,通常是0x30008000),
/*聲明內核的入口函數指針*/
void (*theKernel)(int zero, int arch, uint params);
/*把內核入口地址賦值給theKernel,hdr是image_header_t結構體,指向uImage頭部 ,ih_ep是內核的入口點(Entry Point)*/
theKernel = (void (*)(int, int, uint))ntohl(hdr->ih_ep);
/*最後是對內核入口函數的調用,bd->bi_arch_number是這個板子機器類型ID, bd->bi_boot_params是傳給內核的參數,從標記列表地址開始*/
theKernel (0, bd->bi_arch_number, bd->bi_boot_params);
引導Linux內核啓動的必須要滿足的幾個條件:
* CPU register settings //這裏也就是我們的theKernel中的作用
o r0 = 0.
o r1 = machine type number.
o r2 = physical address of tagged list in system RAM.
* CPU mode
o All forms of interrupts must be disabled (IRQs and FIQs.)
o The CPU must be in SVC mode. (A special exception exists for Angel.)
* Caches, MMUs
o The MMU must be off.
o Instruction cache may be on or off.
o Data cache must be off and must not contain any stale data.
* Devices
o DMA to/from devices should be quiesced.
* The boot loader is expected to call the kernel image by jumping directly to the first instruction of the kernel image.
