通常利用一張SD卡就能進行系統的更新,之前一直不知是什麼原理,最近了解了下,對了解到的內容作個記錄。使用的是AM335X平臺,系統是Linux,文件系統是EXT3:編程
一、首先須要一張分好分區的SD卡(分區方法這裏不作詳細介紹,通常可以使用TI官方提供的create-sdcard.sh腳本能夠進行分區)。其中分區1(FAT32)存放MLO、u-boot.img、uImage三個文件;分區2(EXT3)存放須要從SD卡啓動的Linux文件系統。網絡
二、AM335X上電後,根據Boot Sequence啓動配置(LCD0-LCD15引腳,具體可參考TI官方的335X參考手冊),從相應的存儲設備啓動,這裏配置的是從SD卡啓動。app
三、AM335X上電後首先執行固化在芯片內部ROM中的代碼,咱們稱之爲BLO,BLO的功能很強大,能讀取SD卡中的第一個分區(必須是FAT格式)的MLO文件,複製到AM335X內部的RAM中吞下,複製的起始地址爲0x402f0400,因此編譯MLO時,鏈接地址必須設置爲0x402F0400。less
四、通常的,MLO的做用是:禁用中斷、關看門狗、設置棧、初始化時鐘、初始化DDR三、初始化串口、最後複製S卡中boot(FAT32)分區的u-boot.img到DDR3的0x80000000(內存)處運行。MLO的最大致積能夠達到109K,對於簡單的邏輯程序綽綽有餘了。工具
五、u-boot的功能主要是啓動內核:u-boot從SD卡的boot(FAT32)分區複製uImage到內存運行。post
六、啓動Linux後掛載SD卡的rootfs分區(EXT3)的文件系統ui
七、文件系統是利用Busybox工具集建立的,首先內核會啓動BusyBox裏的Init進程。init進程首先主要對/etc/inittab文件進行解析,而後按照它的指示建立各類子進程。this
八、inittab文件的內容主要如下幾部分。其中系統運行後最早執行的是/etc/rc.d/rcS進程,而且它只執行一次,其它進程只有等它執行完畢後才能運行,u-boot、內核、文件系統的燒寫在這裏執行。spa
1 ::sysinit:/etc/rc.d/rcS 2 ::respawn:/sbin/getty 9600 tty1 3 ::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/reboot 4 ::shutdown:/etc/rc.d/rcS stop 5 ::restart:/sbin/init
九、接着繼續看到/etc/rc.d/rcS文件,這是一個腳本文件,下面一一分析它作的工做rest
#!/bin/sh # minimal startup script, will work with msh (this is best available in # MMUless format). mode=${1:-start} #若第一個參數存在,則mode的值爲第一個參數;不然mode等於start # load the configuration information if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.conf ] then . /etc/rc.d/rc.conf #無論/etc/rc.d/rc.conf是否可執行,都去執行它,等價於sh /etc/rc.d/rc.conf fi if [ $mode = "start" ] #若mode的值爲start, then services=$cfg_services #那麼services等於$cfg_services(這個值在/etc/rc.d/rc.conf中定義:"crond mount-proc-sys hostname depmod modules udev filesystems inetd") else services=$cfg_services_r #不然services等於$cfg_services_r (這個值在/etc/rc.d/rc.conf中定義:"inetd filesystems udev modules depmod hostname mount-proc-sys crond") fi cfg_services=${2:-$services} #若第二個參數存在,則cfg_services的值爲第二個參數;不然cfg_services等於services # run the configured sequence #按配置的順序,啓動各個進程 for i in $cfg_services do if [ -x /etc/rc.d/init.d/$i ] #若是進程是可執行的,那麼 then echo "/etc/rc.d/init.d/"$i $mode #打印進程信息 /etc/rc.d/init.d/$i $mode #挨個執行 fi done if [ $# -ge 2 ] #若是參數個數大於等於2 then exit 0 #退出 fi if [ $mode = "start" ] #若mode的值爲start, then # show all kernel log messages if [ -x /proc/sys/kernel/printk ] #若/proc/sys/kernel/printk可執行 then #echo 8 > /proc/sys/kernel/printk echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/printk #清空/proc/sys/kernel/printk fi # echo set kernel halt time echo -e "\033[9;0]" > /dev/tty0 #echo Bringing lo up /sbin/ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 up 2>/dev/null /sbin/route add -net 127.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 gw 127.0.0.1 dev lo 2>/dev/null #echo eth0 setting #網卡0設置 if [ -x /etc/eth0-setting ] then echo "Found /etc/eth0-setting..." /etc/rc.d/ifconfig-eth0 /etc/eth0-setting #在/etc/eth0-setting文件中配置IP、MASK、GATEWAY信息 fi #echo eth1 setting #網卡1設置 if [ -x /etc/eth1-setting ] then echo "Found /etc/eth1-setting..." /etc/rc.d/ifconfig-eth1 /etc/eth1-setting #在/etc/eth1-setting文件中配置IP、MASK、GATEWAY信息 fi #echo wlan0 setting #wlan0設置 if [ -x /etc/wlan0-setting ] then echo "Found /etc/wlan0-setting..." wpa_supplicant -B -D wext -c /etc/wpa.conf -i wlan0 wpa_cli add_network wpa_cli enable_network 0 /etc/rc.d/ifconfig-wlan0 /etc/wlan0-setting fi fi # run rc.local if present and executable if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.local ] #若是/etc/rc.d/rc.local可執行 then echo "Found /etc/rc.d/rc.local..." /etc/rc.d/rc.local $mode #那麼,直接執行它。整個啓動腳本的重點在這裏,後面分析它 fi # run startx if present and executable if [ -x /usr/bin/startx ] then if [ $mode = "start" ] then rm /tmp/.X0-lock startx fi fi
/etc/rc.d/rcS腳本能夠總結爲以下的功能:
a、配置腳本運行的環境變量,文件爲/etc/rc.d/rc.conf
b、運行系統服務進程:crond mount-proc-sys hostname depmod modules udev filesystems inetd
c、設置網絡IP/etc/rc.d/ifconfig-eth0 /etc/eth0-setting、/etc/rc.d/ifconfig-eth1 /etc/eth1-setting
d、運行/etc/rc.d/rc.local腳本程序
十、分析/etc/rc.d/rc.local start腳本程序
#!/bin/sh mode=${1:-start} #mode等於傳入的參數1爲start if [ $mode = "start" ] #若是mode的值等於start,那麼運行如下程序 then #set sgtl5000 volume 0~127 amixer cset numid=5 65 #猜想是設置蜂鳴器音量,還不肯定 echo "start format board mmc..." echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/user_buzzer/brightness #打開蜂鳴器,說明開始運行此腳本更新系統 /etc/rc.d/spi.sh #運行/etc/rc.d/spi.sh腳本,把/boot/u-boot.spi.512拷貝到Flash中,之後程序今後處取出u-boot運行 如下爲/etc/rc.d/spi.sh腳本內容: #!/bin/sh echo "****************************************************" echo "****************************************************" echo "" echo " Hua Ming spi Flashing Script - 01/01/2015" echo "" echo "erase spi flash..." flash_erase /dev/mtd0 0 8 echo "write boot/u-boot.spi.512 ..." flashcp /boot/u-boot.spi.512 /dev/mtd0 echo "done" /etc/rc.d/mmc.sh /dev/mmcblk1 #運行/etc/rc.d/mmc.sh腳本對mmc以ext3文件系統格式進行分區,分爲4個區分別爲sys、opt、user、Reserved。 mount /dev/mmcblk1p1 /mnt #掛接sys分區,將rfs_335x.tar.gz的文件進行解壓縮,裏面存放了最小根文件系統 cd /mnt tar -xzvf ../rfs_335x.tar.gz mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /mnt/opt #掛接opt分區,將HmReader.tar.gz解壓縮,裏面存放了應用程序 tar -xzvf ../../HmReader.tar.gz cd boot ln -s boot.scr.mmc1 boot.scr sync echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/user_buzzer/brightness #蜂鳴器關閉 echo "format finished ..." #格式化結束,更新完成 fi
/etc/rc.d/rc.local start腳本程序功能總結以下:
一、將/boot/u-boot.spi.512拷貝到Flash中,在從spi啓動時啓動u-boot。
二、對MMC1進行分區,分爲四個區分別爲sys、opt、user、Reserved
三、將最小根文件系統解壓縮到sys分區
四、將應用程序解壓縮到opt分區
十一、對/etc/rc.d/mmc.sh腳本的分析:
#!/bin/sh echo "****************************************************" echo "****************************************************" echo "" echo " Hua Ming Example Flashing Script - 01/01/2015" echo "" if [[ -z $1 ]] #若是傳入腳本的參數1不存在的話 then echo "mmc.sh Usage:" echo " mmc.sh <Dev>" echo " Example: mmc.sh /dev/mmcblk0" exit #退出腳本 fi STARTTIME=$(date +%s) #得到當前時間 ##---------Start of variables---------------------## ## Declare eMMC device name here #DRIVE="/dev/mmcblk0" DRIVE=$1 #DRIVE=/dev/mmcblk1 ##----------End of variables-----------------------## ## Kill any partition info that might be there dd if=/dev/zero of=$DRIVE bs=4k count=1 #猜想是清除設備原有的分區 sync sync #立刻寫入設備 ## Figure out how big the eMMC is in bytes SIZE=`fdisk -l $DRIVE | grep Disk | awk '{print $5}'` #算出塊設備的大小(以字節爲單位) ## Translate size into segments, which traditional tools call Cylinders. eMMC is not a spinning disk. ## We are basically ignoring what FDISK and SFDISK are reporting because it is not really accurate. ## we are translating this info to something that makes more sense for eMMC. CYLINDERS=`echo $SIZE/255/63/512 | bc` #做數學運算算出一個柱面的大小 ## Check to see if the eMMC partitions have automatically loaded from the old MBR. ## This might have occured during the boot process if the kernel detected a filesystem ## before we killed the MBR. We will need to unmount and kill them by writing 4k zeros to the ## partitions that were found. #檢查是否已經被掛載,而且已經分區。如有,則清除 check_mounted(){ is_mounted=$(grep ${DRIVE}p /proc/mounts | awk '{print $2}') if grep -q ${DRIVE}p /proc/mounts; then echo "Found mounted partition(s) on " ${DRIVE}": " $is_mounted umount $is_mounted counter=1 for i in $is_mounted; do \ echo "4k erase on ${DRIVE}p${counter}"; dd if=/dev/zero of=${DRIVE}p${counter} bs=4k count=1; counter=$((counter+1)); done else echo "No partition found. Continuing." fi } check_mounted; ## Partitioning the eMMC using information gathered. ## Here is where you can add/remove partitions. ## We are building 2 partitions: ## 1. FAT, size = 9 cylinders * 255 heads * 63 sectors * 512 bytes/sec = ~70MB ## 2. EXT3, size = 223 ($CYLINDERS-[9 for fat]) cylinders * 255 heads * 63 sectors * 512 bytes/sec = ~1l.7GB ## ## You will need to change the lines ",9,0c0C,*", "10,,,-" to suit your needs. Adding is similar, ## but you will need to be aware of partition sizes and boundaries. Use the man page for sfdisk. echo "Partitioning the eMMC..." sfdisk -D -H 255 -S 63 -C $CYLINDERS $DRIVE << EOF ,65,0x0c,* 65,65,,- 130,130,,- 260,,,- EOF ## This sleep is necessary as there is a service which attempts ## to automount any filesystems that it finds as soon as sfdisk ## finishes partitioning.

It ONLY ## gets found if there was a previous file system on the same ## partition boundary. Happens when running this script more than once. ## To fix, we just unmount and write some zeros to it. check_mounted; ## Clean up the dos (FAT) partition as recommended by SFDISK #dd if=/dev/zero of=${DRIVE}p1 bs=512 count=1 ## Make sure posted writes are cleaned up sync sync ## Format the eMMC into 2 partitions echo "Formatting the eMMC into 4 partitions..." mkfs.ext3 -L "sys" ${DRIVE}p1 mkfs.ext3 -L "opt" ${DRIVE}p2 mkfs.ext3 -L "user" ${DRIVE}p3 mkfs.ext3 -L "Reserved" ${DRIVE}p4 ## Make sure posted writes are cleaned up sync sync echo "Formatting done." #格式化完成 ## The block below is only necessary if using 'dd'. ## Force check the filesystem for consistency and fix errors if any. ## Resize partition to the length specified by the MBR. ## /sbin/e2fsck -fy ${DRIVE}p2 ## /sbin/resize2fs ${DRIVE}p2 ENDTIME=$(date +%s) echo "It took $(($ENDTIME - $STARTTIME)) seconds to complete this task..." #計算格式化EMMC花了多長時間 ## Reboot echo "" echo "********************************************" echo " Hua Ming Example Flash Script is complete." echo ""
總結爲以ext3文件系統格式對MMC進行分區,分爲4個區分別爲sys、opt、user、Reserved。其中sys存放最小根文件系統,opt存放應用程序,後續能夠對它單獨進行更新。
十二、到這裏全部系統更新完成,拔掉SD卡,從新上電後根據Boot Sequence啓動配置(LCD0-LCD15引腳,具體可參考TI官方的335X編程手冊),從相應的存儲設備啓動,這裏配置的是SPI接口的Flash啓動。說啓動可能不許確,實際上是內部的ROM從SPI的flash中拷貝鏡像到RAM中運行。而後啓動u-boot,u-boot啓動後會從MMC的/sys分區的/boot目錄下取出uImage鏡像再到RAM中運行,接着Linux系統掛接到/sys系統。而後整個系統正常運行。
