uboot extlinux.conf介绍
uboot extlinux.conf介绍
上面一小节我们介绍了uboot的启动流程，里面最终走到了查看extlinx文件，并根据此文件来选择后续的启动镜像、设备树和内核参数。本章节详细分析一下extlinux相关的内容。首先我们看下ST官方的开发板uboot启动时使用的extlinux.conf文件长什么样：
粗看上面的配置可以盲猜里面内容的意思：
MENU: 从配置可以看到是一张bmp的照片，应该是进入此阶段选择的splansh图片
TIMEOUT: 选择超时配置
DEFAULT: 默认启动的目标选项，应该是下面LABEL中的一种
LABEL: 一个启动项，每一个LABLE下面有三个子配置
KERNEL: 该启动项选择的DTB文件
INITRD: 该启动项支持的ramdisk
APPEND:该启动项传递的内核参数
下面我们详细分析一下ST官方是怎么生成上面这个配置文件的，涉及到的相关文件如下：
conf/machine/include/st-machine-extlinux-config-stm32mp.inc
conf/machine/stm32mp15-robot.conf
class/extlinuxconf-stm32mp.bbclass
recipes-bsp/u-boot/u-boot-stm32mp-extlinux.bb
这些文件的大致关系如图所示：
其中st-machine-extlinux-config-stm32mp.inc里面填充了非常多EXTLINUX相关的配置项目，然后stm32mp15-robot.conf这个machine的配置文件会引用st-machine-extlinux-config-stm32mp.inc同时部分配置项目可能会覆写，这些配置会最终控制配置文件里面的具体内容；extlinuxconf-stm32mp.bbclass里面提供了一个task 叫do_create_multiextlinux_config，里面会根据配置项目来生成extlinux的实际conf文件，u-boot-stm32mp-extlinux.bb引用了extlinuxconf-stm32mp.bbclass并且完善整个生成配置文件、编译和安装等工作，这就是大概完整的流程图。
下面的重点就是看一下do_create_multiextlinux_config里面具体是怎么根据一系列的配置来生成具体的extlinux.conf文件了。
从最后看可以知道create_multiextlinux_config task是在compile之前运行。
addtask create_multiextlinux_config before do_compile
下面是 do_create_multiextlinux_config的主体内容，部分删减
python do_create_multiextlinux_config() {

上面主要就是就跟环境变量来生成，我修改的stm32mp15-robot.conf和extlinux相关的配置如下：
UBOOT_SPLASH_TTROBOT_IMAGE ?= “splash_ttrobot”
UBOOT_EXTLINUX_SPLASH_stm32mp15 = “KaTeX parse error: Expected 'EOF', got '#' at position 31: …TROBOT_IMAGE}" #̲UBOOT_EXTLINUX_…{STM32MP_DT_FILES_ROBOT}”
