Android内核的大致分析

  以下为Android官方公布的架构图：

      

 

   在kernel子目录下存放的就是Android的Linux Kernel了, 通过和标准的Linux 2.6.25 Kernel的对比,我们可以发现,其主要增加了以下的内容:

   1. 基于ARM架构增加Gold-Fish平台,相应增加的目录如下:

      kernel/arch/arm/mach-goldfish

      kernel/include/asm-arm/arch-goldfish

      目前Google的基于Gold-Fish的手机为G1手机，明年G2手机将面世。

      该手机采用QualComm公司的高性能处理芯片MSM7201A，该芯片以ARM 11作为Application应用处理器，以ARM926T作为BaseBand主处理器(主要承载GSM／GPRS／EDGE／3G等协议栈处理)， 支持JAVA硬加速(ARM本身也自带JAVA硬件处理)，包含GPS Processor, 支持2D/3D图形加速(每秒可处理4百万个多边形),另外还支持最大800万像素的Sensor, 支持MPEG 4/H.263/H.264/Real Media等多种Codec。

      其中ARM926T采用的主频为274M HZ, ARM11的主频为528MHZ. (MSM7200的ARM11的主频为400M HZ)

      因为没有找到MSM7201A的详细DataSheet, 因此可以简单地参考MSM7200的规格:

      下面为MSM7200架构图:

 

   2. 增加了yaffs2 FLASH文件系统,相应增加的目录为:

      kernel/fs/yaffs2

      实际上，Android包经过编译后生成的system.img和ramdisk.img文件就是yaffs2格式的包.

   3. 增加了Android的相关Driver,相应目录为:
      kernel/drivers/android  

      主要分为:

           Android IPC系统:       Binder (binder.c)
           Android 日志系统:       Logger (logger.c)

           Android 电源管理:       Power (power.c)

           Android 闹钟管理:       Alarm  (alarm.c)
           Android 内存控制台:     Ram_console (ram_console.c)

           Android 时钟控制的gpio: Timed_gpio (timed_gpio.c)

   4. 增加了switch处理, 相应的目录为:
      kernel/drivers/switch/  

 
   5. 增加了一种新的共享内存处理方式, 相应增加的文件为:
      kernel/mm/ashmem.c  

   6.  其他为Linux-2.6.25内核所做的补丁等等，例如BlueTooth, 在此不做详细分析
 
   另外GoldFish平台相关的驱动文件如下:

   1. 字符输出设备:
      kernel/drivers/char/goldfish_tty.c    

   2. 图象显示设备: (Frame Buffer)
      kernel/drivers/video/goldfishfb.c 

   3. 键盘输入设备:
      kernel/drivers/input/keyboard/goldfish_events.c

   4. RTC设备: (Real Time Clock)
      kernel/drivers/rtc/rtc-goldfish.c

   5. USB Device设备:
      kernel/drivers/usb/gadget/android_adb.c

   6. SD卡设备:
      kernel/drivers/mmc/host/goldfish.c
     
   7. FLASH设备:
      kernel/drivers/mtd/devices/goldfish_nand.c
      kernel/drivers/mtd/devices/goldfish_nand_reg.h 

   8. LED设备:
      kernel/drivers/leds/ledtrig-sleep.c

   9. 电源设备:
      kernel/drivers/power/goldfish_battery.c

   10. 音频设备:
       kernel/arch/arm/mach-goldfish/audio.c

   11. 电源管理:
       kernel/arch/arm/mach-goldfish/pm.c

   12. 时钟管理:
       kernel/arch/arm/mach-goldfish/timer.c

  从启动信息可以看出，其主CPU为ARM926EJ-S,并非ARM11 CPU, 说明下载的Emulator内核并非是针对G1手机的，估计只是实现了对ARM926EJ-S CPU的模拟。
