STMP3770启动流程

我们知道，STMP3770里面有个On-Chip Rom，里面预存有启动代码，即系统刚开机就马上跳转到此处，完成相关的硬件初始化的动作，同时也提供裸机烧录功能（主要是方便工厂第一次预载image方便）。

下面，我们谈谈系统是如何加载其他image的(其他image存放在Nand flash中，接口为SDIO)。

我们打开项目文件code\xxx_build\xxx_updater_top.gpj, 首先会调用命令脚本sdk_os_media_updater.tbd, 之后调用elftosb命令生成sb二进制文档；这里调用的脚本sdk_os_media_updater.tbd就会指定image的link地址和启动顺序。

{rebuild}application\framework\sdk_os_media_player\sdk_os_media_updater.tbd
	-object_dir=$OUTDIR
	:postexecShell="$ROOT\\bin\\elftosb -V -z -z -c $OUTDIR\\sdk_os_media_updater.bd -o $OUTDIR\\updater.sb -p $OUTDIR updater_usb\\updater_usb"

我们接着一起研究sdk_os_media_updater.tbd,

首先，看看整个image里面包含哪些内容，内容如下表：

sources {
// List of elftosb source files relative to $OUTDIR
#ifdef INTERNAL_MEDIA_SDMMC
    rom_sd_patch = "rom_sd_patch\rom_sd_patch";
#endif
    boot_prep    = "boot_prep\boot_prep";
    boot_manager = "boot_manager\boot_manager";
    updater_live = "updater_live\updater_live";
    hostlink_elf = "hostlink\hostlink";
    player_elf   = "player\player";
    splash_elf   = "splash\splash"(secinfoClear="rom");
    firmware_rsc = "resources\firmware.rsc";
}

接着，我们再看看他们之间的呼叫顺序，

如果有sd patch则先呼叫此处，然后呼叫boot_prep,

    // load sd patch to patch sd_Next function
#ifdef INTERNAL_MEDIA_SDMMC
#if !defined(STMP378x)
    load rom_sd_patch;
    call rom_sd_patch:_start(0);
#endif
#endif

    // Call boot_prep to setup the hardware platform for booting.

    load boot_prep;
    call boot_prep;

接着呼叫boot_manager, 如果需要进行updater_live，则进行通过USB的image更新；否则，跳过这一步。

    // Next call boot_manager, which will instruct the ROM on what to boot
    // next. Let boot_manager know we are including the live updater by
    // passing it a non-zero argument.
    if exists(updater_live)
    {
        load boot_manager;
        call boot_manager(1);   // Test if live update should be started
        load updater_live;
        jump updater_live;
    }
    else
    {
        load boot_manager;
        call boot_manager(0);   // Skip the test for live update
    }

然后，查看是否有5V USB与电脑相连，如果是则进入HostLink mode（也就是优盘模式）。

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// HOSTLINK BOOT SECTION
//
// The hostlink section is booted if 5V and USB are connected while booting.
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
section(hostlink_tag)
{
    // Load the non-paged portion of hostlink, then exit the ROM by jumping to it.
    load ~$.pageable* from hostlink_elf;
    jump hostlink_elf;
}

如果，启动过程中没有与USB相连，则进入Player模式（即正常的操作模式，因为STMP3770是针对MP3/4市场设计的SoC芯片，所以正常的模式也被定义为Player模式）。

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// PLAYER BOOT SECTION
//
// The player section is booted if USB is not connected while booting. It first
// displays a splash screen, then starts player.
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
section(player_tag)
{
    // If there is a splash screen, display it before starting player.
    if exists(splash_elf) {
        load splash_elf;
        call splash_elf:SplashMain;
    }

    // Load the non-paged portion of player, then exit the ROM by jumping to it.
    load ~$.pageable*, ~$.ocram.pageable.test* from player_elf;
    jump player_elf;
}

至此，系统已经启动成功。
