VxWorks Booting Process

VxWorks Booting Process

 

一、romInit.s -> romInit()

/*romInit - entry point for VxWorks in ROM*/

1、  initialize CPU and memory

2、  copy bootrom to ROM_TEXT_ADRS

3、  initialize STACK

4、  lock INTERRUPT

5、  jump to romStart()

二、romStart.c->romStart()

/*this is the first C code after reset*/

1、  clear memory

2、  copy vxWorks ROM image to RAM

3、  uncompress if necessary

4、  jump to the object code ENTRY after uncompress

a)         usrEntry - entry point for vxWorks_romCompress, vxWorks_rom and bootrom

b)        sysInit() for vxWorks in RAM(Uncompress)

三、sysALib.s->sysInit()

/*this routine is the system start-up entry point for VxWorks in RAM*/

1、  disable INTERRUPTS

2、  set up STACK

3、  jump to usrInit() in usrConfig.c

三、usrEntry.c->usrEntry()

/*usrEntry - entry point for vxWorks_romCompress, vxWorks_rom and bootrom images.*/

1、just jump to usrInit() in usrConfig.c

四、usrConfig.c->usrInit()

/* usrInit - user-defined system initialization routine*/

1、  call sysHwInit0() for BSP-specific initialization

2、  zero out BSS segment for entruing all valiables are initialzed to 0

3、  initialize CACHE and disable CACHE

4、  setting up the interrupt vector base table

5、  installing exception vectors

6、  call sysHwInit() to initialize system hardware

7、  enable CACHE, including instruction cache and data cache

8、  call usrKernelInit() to configure Wind Kernel

9、  if necessary, start WDB before Wind Kernel

10、start up root task usrRoot()

/*NOTE: in this point, multitasking environment is not enabled*/

五、usrConfig.c->usrRoot()

/*this is the first task running under multitasking environment, it performs all final initialization and start other tasks*/

1、  call usrKernelCoreInit() to initialize Wind kernel facilities

2、  initialize power managerment, only for PENTIUM

3、  initialize system memory pool

4、  configure memory managerment LIB

33、              initialize POSIX semaphores

34、              initialize POSIX threads

35、              initialize POSIX scheduler

36、              initialize signals events

37、              initialize POSIX message queues

38、              dosFs2 filesystem initialization

39、              initialize ramFs filesystem

40、              install ram disk driver

41、              install memory disk driver

42、              install pseudo-terminal driver

43、              initialize SCSI

44、              initialize FD if necessary

45、              initialize ATA
