在嵌入式系统中,我们通常会要求VxWorks文件尽量小,比如通过串口、软盘或tffs加载VxWorks的时候,如果文件太大,可能无法存储,或加载失败。下面介绍一种利用Tornado和VxWorks自带的deflate和inflate,对VxWorks文件进行压缩和解压缩的技术。希望对大家有所帮助:
1 使用Tornado创建bootable的project,包括应用程序。对VxWorks进行适当的裁减和配置。
2 如果准备将VxWorks存储于硬盘,软盘或tffs上,应该在usrAppInit中使用usrNetEndDevStart和
usrNetIfConfig启动网络接口。如果存储于tffs上,还要修改usrNetBoot.c中:
1
if
( (strncmp (sysBootParams.bootDev,
"
scsi
"
,
4
)
==
0
)
2
||
(strncmp (sysBootParams.bootDev,
"
ide
"
,
3
)
==
0
)
3
||
(strncmp (sysBootParams.bootDev,
"
ata
"
,
3
)
==
0
)
4
||
(strncmp (sysBootParams.bootDev,
"
fd
"
,
2
)
==
0
))
5
为:
1
if
( (strncmp (sysBootParams.bootDev,
"
scsi
"
,
4
)
==
0
)
2
||
(strncmp (sysBootParams.bootDev,
"
ide
"
,
3
)
==
0
)
3
||
(strncmp (sysBootParams.bootDev,
"
ata
"
,
3
)
==
0
)
4
||
(strncmp (sysBootParams.bootDev,
"
tffs
"
,
4
)
==
0
)
5
||
(strncmp (sysBootParams.bootDev,
"
fd
"
,
2
)
==
0
))
3 在dos下运行 tornado/host/x86-win32/bin/torvars.bat
4 进入VxWorks所在的目录,运行:
deflate VxWorks.z。这里我们默认.z文件是压缩文件。
5 如果准备将VxWorks.z存储于硬盘,软盘或tffs上,需要首先创建相应的设备,并用dosFS初始化。如
果是通过串口或网络加载VxWorks.z,则需要初始化相应的接口。
6 修改bootConfig.c文件:
a. 在LOCAL STATUS netLoad 函数的 tftpXfer和 ftpXfer这一部分代码结束的地方添加:
1
if
( strstr(fileName,
"
.z
"
)
||
strstr(fileName,
"
.Z
"
) )
2
{
3
printf(
"
4
file
%
s
is
compressed, now begin uncompressing
5
"
,fileName);
6
if
(bootLoadModuleInflate(fd, pEntry)
!=
OK)
7
goto
readErr;
8
}
9
else
if
(bootLoadModule (fd, pEntry)
!=
OK)
10
goto
readErr;
11
b. 在 LOCAL STATUS tffsLoad 函数的 usrTffsConfig和open这一部分代码结束的地方添加:
1
if
( strstr(fileName,
"
.z
"
)
||
strstr(fileName,
"
.Z
"
) )
2
{
3
printf(
"
4
file
%
s
is
compressed, now begin uncompressing
5
"
,fileName);
6
if
(bootLoadModuleInflate(fd, pEntry)
!=
OK)
7
goto
readErr;
8
}
9
else
if
(bootLoadModule (fd, pEntry)
!=
OK)
10
goto
readErr;
c. 在 LOCAL STATUS bootLoad 函数之前定义函
数 bootLoadModuleInflate的原型:
1
#define
DECOMP_BUF_SIZE (RAM_HIGH_ADRS - RAM_LOW_ADRS)
2
#define
COMP_BUF_SIZE (DECOMP_BUF_SIZE / 3)
3
STATUS bootLoadModuleInflate(
int
zfd, FUNCPTR
*
pEntry)
4
{
5
char
*
imageBuf
=
NULL;
6
char
*
compBuf
=
NULL;
7
int
fd
=
-
1
;
8
int
rv
=
ERROR;
9
int
compSize, r;
10
extern
STATUS inflate(
char
*
src,
char
*
dst,
int
src_size);
11
if
((compBuf
=
malloc(COMP_BUF_SIZE))
==
NULL)
12
{
13
printErr(
"
No enough memory for image buffer
14
"
);
15
goto
done;
16
}
17
compSize
=
0
;
18
while
((r
=
read(zfd, compBuf
+
compSize, COMP_BUF_SIZE
-
compSize))
>
0
)
19
compSize
+=
r;
20
if
(r
<
0
)
21
{
22
printErr(
"
Read failed: errno = %d
23
"
, errnoGet());
24
goto
done;
25
}
26
if
(compSize
==
COMP_BUF_SIZE)
27
{
28
printErr(
"
Compressed image too large
29
"
);
30
goto
done;
31
}
32
printErr(
"
Uncompressing %d bytes
"
, compSize);
33
if
((imageBuf
=
malloc(DECOMP_BUF_SIZE))
==
NULL)
34
{
35
printErr(
"
Not enough memory for decompression buffer
36
"
);
37
goto
done;
38
}
39
if
((r
=
inflate(compBuf, imageBuf, compSize))
<
0
)
40
{
41
printErr(
"
42
Uncompress failed
43
"
);
44
goto
done;
45
}
46
printErr(
"
47
Loading image
"
);
48
memDrv();
49
memDevCreate(
"
mem:
"
, imageBuf, DECOMP_BUF_SIZE);
50
if
((fd
=
open(
"
mem:0
"
, O_RDONLY,
0
))
<
0
)
51
{
52
printErr(
"
53
Cannot open memory device.
54
"
);
55
goto
done;
56
}
57
if
(bootLoadModule(fd, pEntry)
!=
OK)
58
{
59
printErr(
"
60
Error loading: errno
=
%
d
61
"
, errnoGet());
62
goto
done;
63
}
64
printErr(
"
65
"
);
66
rv
=
OK;
67
done:
68
if
(fd
>=
0
)
69
close(fd);
70
if
(imageBuf)
71
free(imageBuf);
72
if
(compBuf)
73
free(compBuf);
74
return
rv;
75
}
d. 如果加载不成功,应读懂上一段代码,调整 RAM_HIGH_ADRS 和 RAM_LOW_ADRS的大小。
7 修改 config.h中的启动参数,比如启动设备为tffs=0,0(0,0),文件名为/tffs0/VxWorks.z等等,重
新制作bootrom,并写入flash。
8 启动时,修改启动参数,使系统仍然从网络加载VxWorks,这个VxWorks中应该实现了ftp或tftp
功能。通过这些功能,把VxWorks.z文件写入存储介质如tffs中。
9 重新启动从tffs或硬盘,软盘加载VxWorks,即可成功。
10 可以首先通过网络启动,把启动文件名改为 VxWorks.z来进行验证压缩和解压缩。
11 以上只是考虑了从网络和tffs来加载VxWorks.z压缩文件,如果从fd, ata等加载,只需在相应地方添
加和6.a中相同的代码即可。
12 本方法在ppc850上,利用tffs和网络加载进行了验证,完全适用
