Uboot environment variable（二）

• 分析代码，了解Uboot environment variable.

1.重要结构体

  env可以保存在不同的介质中，如下所示：

  179 enum env_location {
  180     ENVL_UNKNOWN,
  181     ENVL_EEPROM,
  182     ENVL_EXT4,
  183     ENVL_FAT,
  184     ENVL_FLASH,
  185     ENVL_MMC,
  186     ENVL_NAND,
  187     ENVL_NVRAM,
  188     ENVL_ONENAND,
  189     ENVL_REMOTE,
  190     ENVL_SPI_FLASH,
  191     ENVL_UBI,                                                                                          
  192     ENVL_NOWHERE,
  193 
  194     ENVL_COUNT,
  195 };

 include/environment.h:
 205 struct env_driver {
  206     const char *name;      
  207     enum env_location location;                                                                        
  208 
  217     int (*load)(void);
  226     int (*save)(void);
  236     int (*init)(void);
  237 };

  如上所示，该结构体调用 U_BOOT_ENV_LOCATION注册到系统，如下所示：

  env/mmc.c：
  348 U_BOOT_ENV_LOCATION(mmc) = {
  349     .location   = ENVL_MMC,
  350     ENV_NAME("MMC")
  351     .load       = env_mmc_load,
  352 #ifndef CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
  353     .save       = env_save_ptr(env_mmc_save),
  354 #endif
  355 }; 

  env/nand.c：
  385 U_BOOT_ENV_LOCATION(nand) = {
  386     .location   = ENVL_NAND,
  387     ENV_NAME("NAND")
  388     .load       = env_nand_load,
  389 #if defined(CMD_SAVEENV)
  390     .save       = env_save_ptr(env_nand_save),
  391 #endif
  392     .init       = env_nand_init,
  393 }; 

2.初始化

分两个阶段：

• common/board_f.c ：

  257 int env_init(void)
  258 {
  259     struct env_driver *drv;
  260     int ret = -ENOENT;                                                                                 
  261     int prio;
  262 
  263     for (prio = 0; (drv = env_driver_lookup(ENVOP_INIT, prio)); prio++) {
  264         if (!drv->init || !(ret = drv->init()))
  265             env_set_inited(drv->location);
  266 
  267         debug("%s: Environment %s init done (ret=%d)\n", __func__,
  268               drv->name, ret);
  269     }
  274     if (ret == -ENOENT) {
  275         gd->env_addr = (ulong)&default_environment[0];
   276        gd->env_valid = ENV_VALID;
  277 
  278         return 0;                                                                                      
  279     }
  280 
  281     return ret;
  282 }

• common/board_r.c：

  441 static int initr_env(void)
  442 {
  443     /* initialize environment */
  444     if (should_load_env())
  445         env_relocate();
  446     else
  447         set_default_env(NULL, 0);
  448 #ifdef CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
  449     env_set_hex("fdtcontroladdr",
  450             (unsigned long)map_to_sysmem(gd->fdt_blob));
  451 #endif
  452 
  453     /* Initialize from environment */                                                                  
  454     load_addr = env_get_ulong("loadaddr", 16, load_addr);
  455 
  456     return 0;
  457 }

  调用流程：
  initr_env-> env_relocate-> env_load-> ret = drv->load();

最后调用load函数，即注册的 env_mmc_load、env_nand_load等。

3.配置

 env/Kconfig：
146 config ENV_IS_IN_MMC
147     bool "Environment in an MMC device"
148     depends on !CHAIN_OF_TRUST                                                                           
149     depends on MMC
150     default y if ARCH_EXYNOS4
151     default y if MX6SX || MX7D
152     default y if TEGRA30 || TEGRA124
153     default y if TEGRA_ARMV8_COMMON
154     help
155       Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
156       environment.

4.相关命令

1).printenv - print environment variables

  To print all environment variables type “printenv” or just “pri” at the u-boot prompt.
  The printenv command prints one, several or all variables of the U-Boot environment. When argumens are given, these are interpreted as the names of environment variables which will be printed with their values:

INCA-IP # printenv ipaddr hostname netmask
ipaddr=192.168.3.65
hostname=inca
netmask=255.255.255.0
INCA-IP # 

2).saveenv - save environment variables to persistent storage

  Any time that variables are created or modified they must be saved to NAND with the “saveenv” command. The “setenv” command sets the variable but the variable is only in SRAM until it is saved to NAND with the “saveenv” command.

  To modify the U-Boot environment you have to use the setenv command. When called wih exactly one argument, it will delete any variable of that name from U-Boot’s environment, if such a variable exists. Any storage occupied for such a variable will be automatically reclaimed:

setenv name value ...
    - set environment variable 'name' to 'value ...'
setenv name
    - delete environment variable 'name'

INCA-IP # printenv foo
foo=This is an example value.
INCA-IP # setenv foo
INCA-IP # printenv foo
## Error: "foo" not defined
INCA-IP # 

3).setenv - set environment variables

  To create a new environment variable use the command “setenv”. This command can also be used to save a copy of an existing environment variable. Here is an example where “bootcmd” is saved off to another name and a new “bootcmd” is generated.
