loader.bin, boot.bin, u-boot.bin代码执行流分析

 loader.bin, boot.bin, u-boot.bin代码执行流分析.

以上三个文件时at91rm9200启动所需要的三个bin,他们的实现代码并不难。
如果是你是采用at91rm9200的评估版，应该能得到其源码。

2.1 loader.bin 执行流程,这个文件主要在片内启动从串口下载代码时会用到
loader/entry.S init cpu
b main ---> crt0.S
--> copydata --> clearbss --> b boot
main.c --> boot -->
/*Get internel rom service address*/
/* Init of ROM services structure */
pAT91 = AT91C_ROM_BOOT_ADDRESS;

/* Xmodem Initialization */
--> pAT91->OpenSBuffer
--> pAT91->OpenSvcXmodem
/* System Timer initialization */
---> AT91F_AIC_ConfigureIt
/* Enable ST interrupt */
AT91F_AIC_EnableIt
AT91F_DBGU_Printk("XMODEM: Download U-BOOT ");

Jump.S
// Jump to Uboot BaseAddr exec
Jump((unsigned int)AT91C_UBOOT_BASE_ADDRESS)



2.2 boot.bin执行流程 该文件会在从片内启动时被下载到板子上，以后还会被烧写到片外Flash中，以便在片外启动时
用它来引导并解压u-boot.gz，并跳转到u-boot来执行。
boot/entry.S
b main --> crt0.S --> copydata --> clearbss --> b boot

T91F_DBGU_Printk(" ");
AT91F_DBGU_Printk("************************************** ");
AT91F_DBGU_Printk("** Welcome to at91rm9200 ** ");
AT91F_DBGU_Printk("************************************** ");

boot/misc.s /* unzip uboot.bin.gz */
----> decompress_image(SRC,DST,LEN) --> gunzip

//jump to ubootBaseAddr exec 这里跳转到解压u-boot.gz的地址处直接开始执行u-boot
asm("mov pc,%0" : : "r" (DST));

2.3 uboot.bin执行流程
u-boot/cpu/at91rm9200/start.S
start --->reset
---> copyex ---> cpu_init_crit
---> /* set up the stack */ --> start_armboot
u-boot/lib_arm/board.c

init_fnc_t *init_sequence[] = {
cpu_init, /* basic cpu dependent setup */
board_init, /* basic board dependent setup */
interrupt_init, /* set up exceptions */
env_init, /* initialize environment */
init_baudrate, /* initialze baudrate settings */
serial_init, /* serial communications setup */
console_init_f, /* stage 1 init of console */
display_banner, /* say that we are here */
dram_init, /* configure available RAM banks */
display_dram_config,
checkboard,
NULL,
};

---> start_armboot ---> call init_sequence
---> flash_init --> display_flash_config
---> nand_init ---> AT91F_DataflashInit
---> dataflash_print_info --> env_relocate
---> drv_vfd_init --> devices_init --> jumptable_init
---> console_init_r --> misc_init_r --> enable_interrupts
---> cs8900_get_enetaddr --> board_post_init -->

u-boot/common/main.c
for (;;)
{ /* shell parser */
main_loop () --> u_boot_hush_start --> readline
--> abortboot
-->printf("Hit any key to stop autoboot: %2d ", bootdelay);
}


以上是at91rm9200启动并进入u-boot的执行流分析。后面u-boot还会将uImage解压到特定的位置并开始执行内核代码。
