接上篇文章,AR9331系统与mt7620系统对flash的划分是不一样的,AR系统划分为Flash(可能是作为NAND来处理),而mt7620(mips)系统则划分的比较明确,用的是SPI_FLASH。
在uboot的启动界面上,可以看到这样一些信息:
Please choose the operation:
1: Load system code to SDRAM via TFTP.
2: Load system code then write to Flash via TFTP.
3: Boot system code via Flash (default).
4: Entr boot command line interface.
7: Load Boot Loader code then write to Flash via Serial.
9: Load Boot Loader code then write to Flash via TFTP.
于是,
grep 'write to Flash via TFTP' -r .
找到:
./lib_mips/board.c: printf(" %d: Load system code then write to Flash via TFTP. \n", SEL_LOAD_LINUX_WRITE_FLASH);
./lib_mips/board.c: printf(" %d: Load Boot Loader code then write to Flash via TFTP. \n", SEL_LOAD_BOOT_WRITE_FLASH);
./lib_mips/board.c: printf(" \n%d: System Load Linux Kernel then write to Flash via TFTP. \n", SEL_LOAD_LINUX_WRITE_FLASH);
./lib_mips/board.c: printf(" \n%d: System Load Boot Loader then write to Flash via TFTP. (.bin)\n", SEL_LOAD_BOOT_WRITE_FLASH);
打开board.c一看究竟。

printf(" %d: Load system code then write to Flash via TFTP. \n", SEL_LOAD_LINUX_WRITE_FLASH);
printf(" %d: Boot system code via Flash (default).\n", SEL_BOOT_FLASH);

调用的是 raspi_erase_write 方法来对spi flash进行擦除和写入。
