Uboot如何添加属于自己的一条命令呢?其实doc/README.commands文档中已有详细的说明如下:
Commands are added to U-Boot by creating a new command structure.This is done by first including command.h
## 通过创建一个新的命令结构体,向U-boot中添加命令。在此之前需要包含头文件
Then using the U_BOOT_CMD() macro to fill in a cmd_tbl_t struct.
## 使用宏函数U_BOOT_CMD()填充一个cmd_tbl_t结构体(查看command.h中的结构体定义)
U_BOOT_CMD(name,maxargs,repeatable,command,"usage","help")
## 该宏函数定义在command.h头文件中
name: is the name of the commad. THIS IS NOT a string.
# 添加命令的名字,并不是用双引号括起来的字符串。
maxargs: the maximumn numbers of arguments this function takes
# 命令处理函数处理的最大参数个数。
command: Function pointer (*cmd)(struct cmd_tbl_s *, int, int, char *[]);
# 函数指针
usage: Short description. This is a string
# 该命令简单的使用描述。
help: long description. This is a string
# 该命令详细的使用说明。
**** Behinde the scene ******
The structure created is named with a special prefix (__u_boot_cmd_)
and placed by the linker in a special section.
## 创建该结构体的变量名称是以(__u_boot_cmd_)为前缀,并添加了
## #define Struct_Section __attribute__ ((unused,section (".u_boot_cmd")))
## 目的是在链接的时候,放到指定的.u_boot_cmd段中。
compiled into any object code and construct a static array so the
command can be found in an array starting at __u_boot_cmd_start.
## 定义该结构体变量添加__attribute__属性;使的在链接阶段,
## 把不同的.o文件中定义的命令抽取出来并构造成一个静态数组。
## 而且所有的命令都可以以__u_boot_cmd_start.开始的地址找到
by writing in u-boot.lds ($(TOPDIR)/board/boardname/u-boot.lds) these
3 lines:
## 如果一个新版子被定义,
## 在$(TOPDIR)/board/boardname/u-boot.lds链接文件中,请不要忘记添加如下三行内容。
__u_boot_cmd_start = .;.u_boot_cmd : { *(.u_boot_cmd) }
__u_boot_cmd_end = .;
