BootLoader概述
Boot Loader就是在操作系统内核运行之前运行的一段小程序。通过这段BootLoader,我们来初始化硬件设备,为硬件设备准备地址空间,中断号等,建立内存空间的映射,从而将系统的软硬件环境带到一个合适的状态。
AT91RM9200处理器启动有两种情况,一种是从外部启动,如Flash,EEPROM,DATAFLASH等;一种是从内部的BOOTROM固化代码引导。我们的ARM板是直接通过JTAG接口从主机下载到目标板的flash中直接启动。
系统上电后,我们的CPU从0x00000000取它的第一条指令,而我们的flash就是被映射到这个地址上。CPU就首先执行我们烧在flash上的BootLoader 程序,通过它来引导Linux系统。
U-Boot是一个通用的Bootloader,可以方便地移植到其他硬件平台。现在已经成为ARM平台事实上的标准。
U-Boot的源码包可以从sourceforge网站下载。我们使用U-Boot1.1.4来作为我们移植的Bootloader。
U-Boot1.1.4
移植
u-boot修改。
由于我们的板子和atmel的DK板不同,所以针对我们的硬件,要重新修改u-boot代码,特别是flash驱动部分。
1)修改
board/at91rm9200dk/config.mk
TEXT_BASE=0x21f00000 将U-Boot载入32MSDRAM的高端部分,即最高端1M的空间留给U-Boot代码。
2)修改include/configs/at91rm9200dk.h
修改Flash和SDRAM的大小:
#define PHYS_SDRAM_SIZE 0x2000000 /* 32 megs */
#define PHYS_FLASH_SIZE 0x200000 /* 2 megs main flash */
同时定义如下环境变量:
#define CONFIG_DEFAULT_ENVIRONMENT
#define CONFIG_BOARDNAME "AT91RM9200DK"
#define CONFIG_BOARDNAME "AT91RM9200DK"
#define CONFIG_ETHADDR "00:11:22:33:44:55"
#define CONFIG_IPADDR "192.168.1.100"
#define CONFIG_SERVERIP "192.168.1.1"
//#define CONFIG_GATEWAYIP "192.168.18.1"
#define CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND "tftp 0x20008000 zImage; tftp 0x20410000 ramdisk;go 0x20008000"
#define CONFIG_DEFAULT_KERNEL "2.6.17"
从上面可以看出,我们板子的IP地址是192.168.1.100,而我们的宿主机IP地址为192.168.1.1 ,我们的网卡Mac为:00:11:22:33:44:55。
3)修改flash驱动
borad/at91rm9200dk/flash.c
这个文件修改的部分比较的多。
1.
首先是
OrgDef
的定义,加上目前的
flash
。
OrgDef OrgSSTvF6401B[]=
{
{2048,4*1024}, /*2048*64KBytes sectors*/
};
修改
函数

显示正确的信息。

{

MEM_FLASH_ADDR1 = FLASH_CODE1;

device_code = *(volatile u16 *) (CFG_FLASH_BASE + 2);

*/
但是这里出现了一个问题,编译后IP地址为0.192.168.1,serverip也是0.192.168.1。修改net/net.c中获得IP地址的函数。
IPaddr_t getenv_IPaddr (char *var)
{
/*zzl*/
char tmp_str[64];
strcpy(tmp_str,getenv(var));
if(isxdigit(*tmp_str))
/*测试环境变量字符是否是16进制,如果是,从第一个字符开始取4个字节,如果不是,则从第二个字符开始取4个字节。*/
return (string_to_ip(tmp_str));
else
return(string_to_ip(tmp_str+1));
/*old code
return (string_to_ip(getenv(var)));
*/
}
重新编译
#make distclean
#make at91rm9200dk_config
#make all
编译成功后得到u-boot.bin的二进制文件,即为需要的可执行映象文件,将其用仿真器通过JTAG烧进flash中。板子重新上电,U-Boot启动成功。(注:U-Boot1.1.4已经不需要将其压缩为u-boot.gz。直接烧入flash的0地址后,便能启动,进入u-boot下。)
