关于uBoot和Linux内核中几个地址参数及uboot加载启动内核过程的理解
uboot一般使用mkimage工具先制作一个启动映象文件来引导识别内核的,uboot源代码的tools/目录下有mkimage工具,这个工具可以用来制作不压缩或者压缩的多种可启动映象文件。mkimage在制作映象文件的时候,是在原来的可执行映象文件的前面加上一个0x40字节的头,记录参数所指定的信息,这样uboot才能识别这个映象是针对哪个CPU体系结构的,哪个OS的,哪种类型,加载内存中的哪个位置, 入口点在内存的那个位置以及映象名是什么

127:#define CFG_LOAD_ADDR 0x33000000 /* default load address*///uImage存放地址
uBoot的do_bootm(cmd_tbl_t *cmdtp, int flag, int argc, char *argv[]);
函数将检验存放到0x33000000地址处的经过mkimage格式化的uImage数据的头部
typedef struct image_header {
uint32_t ih_magic; /* Image Header Magic Number */
uint32_t ih_hcrc; /* Image Header CRC Checksum */
uint32_t ih_time; /* Image Creation Timestamp */
uint32_t ih_size; /* Image Data Size */
uint32_t ih_load; /* Data Load Address */
uint32_t ih_ep; /* Entry Point Address */
uint32_t ih_dcrc; /* Image Data CRC Checksum */
uint8_t ih_os; /* Operating System */
uint8_t ih_arch; /* CPU architecture */
uint8_t ih_type; /* Image Type */
uint8_t ih_comp; /* Compression Type */
uint8_t ih_name[IH_NMLEN]; /* Image Name */
} image_header_t;
(ih_ep值为0x30008000,ih_load值为0x30008000)
如果头部各个域值和crc合法,那么do_bootm将调用如下gunzip解压函数对
0x33000000 +sizeof(image_header_t)地址处的压缩内核进行解压:
gunzip((void*)ntohl(hdr->ih_load),unc_len,(uchar *)data,(int*)&len);
1.hdr->ih_load 为输出数据地址0x30008000
2.unc_len 为gunzip解压输出数据上限值-8M,do_bootm函数前有定义#define CFG_BOOTM_LEN 0x800000,uint unc_len = CFG_BOOTM_LEN;
3.data 为输入数据地址data=0x33000000 +sizeof(image_header_t);
4.Len 为输入数据长度len = ntohl(hdr->ih_size );
解压完成后将会存储解压后数据的实际大小
压缩的Linux内核文件uImage,经由gunzip解压函数后,通过
do_bootm_linux (cmdtp, flag, argc, argv,addr, len_ptr, verify);
函数向Linux内核传递内核运行所需的3个参数,在bootm执行的流程中,可以看到会调用do_bootm_linux()在执行Linux内核,内核的起始地址如下:
void (*theKernel)(int zero, int arch, uint params);
image_header_t *hdr = &header;
theKernel = (void (*)(int, int, uint))ntohl(hdr->ih_ep);
header是uImage的头部,通过头部,得到内核映像起始的执行地址hdr->ih_ep为0x30008000,标识为theKernel。从中也可以看到,内核接受三个参数,第一个为0,第二个为系统的ID号,第三个是传入内核的参数。
在do_bootm_linux()的最后,会跳到内核去执行:
theKernel (0, bd->bi_arch_number, bd->bi_boot_params);
这样完成了Linux系统启动所需要3个参数的传递,至此uBoot的工作已经结束,Linux将在0x30008000地址处正式运行。
