原创 Tech memo of imx27 pdk(3) -- For network and rootfs mounting problems

At the end of Tech memo of imx27 pdk(2), we saw the kernel hang-up after trying to bring up eth0. I would introduce some hardware knowledge before fixing this issue.imx27 pdk has two ne2k cark, they are lan8700, which is soldered to core board, andlan9217,

原创 Tech memo of imx27 pdk (2) -- For hacking linux booting code

In the last article Tech memo of imx27 pdk (1), we already introduced how to build zImage for imx27 pdk. Let's copy it to the root folder of tftp server and flash the kernel image of pdk platform. Open board rs232 interface, and go to redboot command line,

原创 Hacking USB@LINUX (2)

Last year i wrote 'Hacking USB@LINUX (1)' already but hadn't uploaded but anyway will do it soon. From this section, we're going to use KGDB to trace how USB driver and device be registered in linux kernel and how kernel manages the drivers and devices. Th

原创 VFS Travelling (2)

In this section, i would start the VFS travelling from rootfs. I'm showing out what happens to VFS when kernel starts. The main scenario is shown below.Fig 2-1Let's get a further step to break it down.1. In start_kernel context, vfs_caches_init()
