imx6ull u-boot启动流程分析

一、程序入口

程序的链接由链接脚本决定的，所以可以通过u-boot.lds 来找到uboot的入口。

从上图可以看出入口为_start，该标签在vector.S中(\arch\arm\lib\vectors.S)

        .macro ARM_VECTORS
	b	reset
	ldr	pc, _undefined_instruction
	ldr	pc, _software_interrupt
	ldr	pc, _prefetch_abort
	ldr	pc, _data_abort
	ldr	pc, _not_used
	ldr	pc, _irq
	ldr	pc, _fiq
	.endm
	
.globl _start
.section ".vectors", "ax"
_start:
	ARM_VECTORS
    .globl	_undefined_instruction
    .globl	_software_interrupt
    .globl	_prefetch_abort
    .globl	_data_abort
    .globl	_not_used
    .globl	_irq
    .globl	_fiq
_undefined_instruction:	.word undefined_instruction
_software_interrupt:	.word software_interrupt
_prefetch_abort:	.word prefetch_abort
_data_abort:		.word data_abort
_not_used:		.word not_used
_irq:			.word irq
_fiq:			.word fiq
.balignl 16,0xdeadbeef

所以，设备一上电开始执行reset函数。

reset:
	/* Allow the board to save important registers */
	b	save_boot_params
save_boot_params_ret:
	//disable interrupts (FIQ and IRQ), also set the cpu to SVC32 mode,except if in HYP mode already
	mrs	r0, cpsr
	and	r1, r0, #0x1f		@ mask mode bits
	teq	r1, #0x1a		@ test for HYP mode
	bicne	r0, r0, #0x1f		@ clear all mode bits
	orrne	r0, r0, #0x13		@ set SVC mode
	orr	r0, r0, #0xc0		@ disable FIQ and IRQ
	msr	cpsr,r0
	#if !(defined(CONFIG_OMAP44XX) && defined(CONFIG_SPL_BUILD))
	/* Set V=0 in CP15 SCTLR register - for VBAR to point to vector */
	mrc	p15, 0, r0, c1, c0, 0	@ Read CP15 SCTLR Register
	bic	r0, #CR_V		@ V = 0
	mcr	p15, 0, r0, c1, c0, 0	@ Write CP15 SCTLR Register
	/* Set vector address in CP15 VBAR register */
	ldr	r0, =_start
	mcr	p15, 0, r0, c12, c0, 0	@Set VBAR
#endif

	/* the mask ROM code should have PLL and others stable */
#ifndef CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
	bl	cpu_init_cp15
#ifndef CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT_ONLY
	bl	cpu_init_crit
#endif
#endif
	bl	_main

save_boot_params 没干啥事，直接跳转到save_boot_params_ret。然后关FIQ、IRQ中断，并且设置cpu到SVC32模式。设置中断向量地址寄存器的值为_start地址。

cpu_init_cp15主要设置CP15寄存器，涉及cache、MMU、TLBS。

cpu_init_crit ：直接调用lowlevel_init

.pushsection .text.lowlevel_init, "ax"
WEAK(lowlevel_init)
	//Setup a temporary stack. Global data is not available yet.
	ldr	sp, =CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_ADDR  //SP=0x0091ff00
	bic	sp, sp, #7 /* 8-byte alignment for ABI compliance */
	
    //Set up global data for boards that still need it. This w
