Bootm的流程分析.doc

Bootm的流程分析Bootm的流程分析一、在开始之前先说明一下bootm相关的东西。1、首先说明一下，S3C2410架构下的bootm只对sdram中的内核镜像文件进行操作(好像AT91架构提供了一段从flash复制内核镜像的代码，不过针对s3c2410架构就没有这段代码，虽然可以在u-boot下添加这段代码，不过好像这个用处不大)，所以请确保你的内核镜像下载到sdram中，或者在bootcmd下把flash中的内核镜像复制到sdram中。 2、-a参数后是内核的运行地址，-e参数后是入口地址。3、1）如果我们没用mkimage对内核进行处理的话，那直接把内核下载到0x30008000再运行就行，内核会自解压运行（不过内核运行需要一个tag来传递参数，而这个tag建议是由bootloader提供的，在u-boot下默认是由bootm命令建立的）。 2）如果使用mkimage生成内核镜像文件的话，会在内核的前头加上了64byte的信息，供建立tag之用。bootm命令会首先判断bootm xxxx 这个指定的地址xxxx是否与-a指定的加载地址相同。(1)如果不同的话会从这个地址开始提取出这个64byte的头部，对其进行分析，然后把去掉头部的内核复制到-a指定的load地址中去运行之(2)如果相同的话那就让其原封不同的放在那，但-e指定的入口地址会推后64byte，以跳过这64byte的头部。bootm 用于加载并启动 U-Boot 能辨识的操作系统映像，即 bootm 加载的映像必须是用mkimage工具打过包的映像，bootm 不能启动直接的内核映像，因为bootm必须从映像的头获取映像的一些信息，比如操作系统的类型，映像是否压缩，映像的加载地址和压缩地址等。更详细的映像头信息可以查看mkimage工具的说明。而bootm的详细用法可通过help bootm获得。 = help bootm bootm addr arg . - boot application image stored in memory passing arguments arg .; when booting a Linux kernel, arg can be the address of an initrd image Bootm 用于将内核映像加载到指定的地址，如果需要还要进行解压映像。然后根据操作系统和体系结构的不同给内核传递不同的内核参数，最后启动内核。 bootm 可以有两个参数，第一个参数为内核映像的地址，它可以是 RAM 地址或者 Flash 地址。第二个参数是可选参数，即initrd映像的地址，当采用Ramdisk 作为根文件系统时需要使用 bootm 的第二个参数。当需要加载 initrd 映像时，首先 U-Boot 把内核映像加载到指定地址，然后再把 Ramdisk 映像加载到指定地址，同时把 Ramdisk 映像的大小和地址告知内核。Bootm命令后U-Boot会将控制权交给Kmon/cmd_bootm.c是bootm的命令实现代码，下面结合U-Boob引导内核启动信息来分析bootm代码，下面是我的开发板的启动信息：U-Boot 2009.11 (Jun 25 2010 - 08:28:06)DRAM: 64 MBFlash: 2 MBNAND: 64 MiBIn: serialOut: serialErr: serialNet: dm9000Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0 NAND read: device 0 offset 0x80000, size 0x500000 5242880 bytes read: OK# Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 30008000 .
