Bootm的流程分析

Bootm的流程分析

一、在开始之前先说明一下bootm相关的东西。

 

1、首先说明一下,S3C2410架构下的bootm只对sdram中的内核镜像文件进行操作(好像AT91架构提供了一段从flash复制内核镜像的代码,不过针对s3c2410架构就没有这段代码,虽然可以在u-boot下添加这段代码,不过好像这个用处不大),所以请确保你的内核镜像下载到sdram中,或者在bootcmd下把flash中的内核镜像复制到sdram中。

2-a参数后是内核的运行地址,-e参数后是入口地址。

3

1)如果我们没用mkimage对内核进行处理的话,那直接把内核下载到0x30008000再运行就行,内核会自解压运行(不过内核运行需要一个tag来传递参数,而这个tag建议是由bootloader提供的,在u-boot下默认是由bootm命令建立的)。

 

2)如果使用mkimage生成内核镜像文件的话,会在内核的前头加上了64byte的信息,供建立tag之用。bootm命令会首先判断bootm xxxx 这个指定的地址xxxx是否与-a指定的加载地址相同。

(1)如果不同的话会从这个地址开始提取出这个64byte的头部,对其进行分析,然后把去掉头部的内核复制到-a指定的load地址中去运行之

(2)如果相同的话那就让其原封不同的放在那,但-e指定的入口地址会推后64byte,以跳过这64byte的头部。

bootm 用于加载并启动 U-Boot 能辨识的操作系统映像,即 bootm 加载的映像必须是用mkimage工具打过包的映像,bootm 不能启动直接的内核映像,因为bootm必须从映像的头获取映像的一些信息,比如操作系统的类型,映像是否压缩,映像的加载地址和压缩地址等。更详细的映像头信息可以查看mkimage工具的说明。bootm的详细用法可通过help bootm

获得。

=> help bootm

bootm [addr [arg ...]]

    - boot application image stored in memory passing arguments 'arg ...'; when booting a Linux

kernel, 'arg' can be the address of an initrd image

Bootm 用于将内核映像加载到指定的地址,如果需要还要进行解压映像。然后根据操作系统和体系结构的不同给内核传递不同的内核参数,最后启动内核。

bootm 可以有两个参数,第一个参数为内核映像的地址,它可以是 RAM 地址或者 Flash 地址。第二个参数是可选参数,即initrd映像的地址,当采用Ramdisk 作为根文件系统时需要使用 bootm 的第二个参数。当需要加载 initrd 映像时,首先 U-Boot 把内核映像加载到指定地址,然后再把 Ramdisk 映像加载到指定地址,同时把 Ramdisk 映像的大小和地址告知内核。

Bootm命令后U-Boot会将控制权交给Kernel

common/cmd_bootm.cbootm的命令实现代码,下面结合U-Boob引导内核启动信息来分析bootm代码,下面是我的开发板的启动信息:

先分析bootm命令在U-Boot中是如何添加的:

U_BOOT_CMD(

       bootm,    CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS,  1,    do_bootm,

       "boot application image from memory",

       "[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"

#if defined(CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT)

       "\tWhen booting a Linux kernel which requires a flat device-tree\n"

       "\ta third argument is required which is the address of the\n"

       "\tdevice-tree blob. To boot that kernel without an initrd image,\n"

       "\tuse a '-' for the second argument. If you do not pass a third\n"

       "\ta bd_info struct will be passed instead\n"

#endif

#if defined(CONFIG_FIT)

       "\t\nFor the new multi component uImage format (FIT) addresses\n"

       "\tmust be extened to include component or configuration unit name:\n"

       "\taddr:<subimg_uname> - direct component image specification\n"

       "\taddr#<conf_uname>   - configuration specification\n"

       "\tUse iminfo command to get the list of existing component\n"

       "\timages and configurations.\n"

#endif

       "\nSub-commands to do part of the bootm sequence.  The sub-commands "

       "must be\n"

       "issued in the order below (it's ok to not issue all sub-commands):\n"

       "\tstart [addr [arg ...]]\n"

       "\tloados  - load OS image\n"

#if defined(CONFIG_PPC) || defined(CONFIG_M68K) || defined(CONFIG_SPARC)

       "\tramdisk - relocate initrd, set env initrd_start/initrd_end\n"

#endif

#if defined(CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT)

       "\tfdt     - relocate flat device tree\n"

#endif

       "\tcmdline - OS specific command line processing/setup\n"

       "\tbdt     - OS specific bd_t processing\n"

       "\tprep    - OS specific prep before relocation or go\n"

       "\tgo      - start OS"

);

U_BOOT_CMD用于定义U-Boot命令,它的定义如下:

#define U_BOOT_CMD(name,maxargs,rep,cmd,usage,help) \

cmd_btl_t __u_boot_cmd ##name Struct_Section={#name,maxargs,rep,cmd,usage,help|

 

#define Struct Section __attribute__ ((unused,section (".u_boot_cmd")))

 

U_BOOT_CMD展开后如下所示:

cmd_tlb_t __u_boot_cmd_bootm __a

关于bootm_load_os函数,个人的理解是之所以叫它是load os,是因为一些image的起始地址和加载地址相同的话就直接运行,但是一些image的起始地址和加载地址不相同的话,要把image搬运到加载地址开始处,然后执行。
