Mini2440 DM9000 驱动分析（一）
硬件特性
Mini2440开发板上DM9000的电气连接和Mach-mini2440.c文件的关系：
PW_RST 连接到复位按键，复位按键按下，低电平触发重新初始化，初始化完成后5us后可以使用（The DM9000 is ready after 5us when this pin deasserted ）
CMD 连接到s3c2440 的ADD2 pin
INT 连接到s3c2440 的EINT7/GPF7，将中断控制端口
LINK_ACT 连接到网络接口的GLEDK pin，连接到LINK LED，这样网卡上面的灯才可以亮
LINK_O、WAKEUP、SPEED100# 这三个pin并联之后连接的网络接口的YLEDK pin
AEN 连接到s3c2440 的nGCS4/GPA15 pin
IOR# 连接到s3c2440 的nOE pin
IOW# 连接到s3c2440 的 nWE pin
IOWAIT 直接通过电阻借电源，即高电平
TXO-、TXO+、RX-、RX+ 直接接到网络端口用于数据收发
SD0-15 连接到s3c2440 的DATA0-15
其中片选信号AEN使用了nGCS4，所以网卡的内存区域在BANK4，也就是从地址0x20000000开始。
DM9000的TXD[2:0]作为strap pin在电路图中是空接的，所以IO base是300H。
中断使用了EINT7。
代码如下：
/* DM9000AEP 10/100 ethernet controller */
#define MACH_MINI2440_DM9K_BASE (S3C2410_CS4 + 0x300)
static struct resource mini2440_dm9k_resource[] = {
[0] = {
.start = MACH_MINI2440_DM9K_BASE,
.end = MACH_MINI2440_DM9K_BASE + 3,
.flags = IORESOURCE_MEM
},
[1] = {
.start = MACH_MINI2440_DM9K_BASE + 4,
.end = MACH_MINI2440_DM9K_BASE + 7,
.flags = IORESOURCE_MEM
},
[2] = {
.start = IRQ_EINT7,
.end = IRQ_EINT7,
.flags = IORESOURCE_IRQ | IORESOURCE_IRQ_HIGHEDGE,
}
};
/*
* * The DM9000 has no eeprom, and it's MAC address is set by
* * the bootloader before starting the kernel.
* */
static struct dm9000_plat_data mini2440_dm9k_pdata = {
.flags = (DM9000_PLATF_16BITONLY | DM9000_PLATF_NO_EEPROM),
};
static struct platform_device mini2440_device_eth = {
.name = "dm9000",
.id = -1,
.num_resources = ARRAY_SIZE(mini2440_dm9k_resource),
.resource = mini2440_dm9k_resource,
.dev = {
.platform_data = &mini2440_dm9k_pdata,
},
};
研究net driver首先就要先了解一下网络驱动编写的一个基本架构
两个重要的结构体简单介绍：sk_buff和net_device
sk_buff
如果把网络传输看成是运送货物的话，那么sk_buff就是这个“货物”了，所有经手这个货物的人都要干点什么事儿，要么加个包装，要么印个戳儿等等。收货的时候就要拆掉这些包装，得到我们需要的货物（payload data）。没有货物你还运输什么呢？由此可见sk_buff的重要性了。
关于sk_buff的详细介绍和几个操作它的函数，参考：“linux内核sk_buff的结构分析” http://www.linuxidc.com/Linux/2011-07/39163.htm，写得非常明白了。赞一个~
net_device
又是一个庞大的结构体。好吧，我承认我从来就没有看全过这个结构体。它在内核中就是指代了一个网络设备。驱动程序需要在探测的时候分配并初始化这个结构体，然后使用register_netdev来注册它，这样就可以把操作硬件的函数与内核挂接在一起。
对于我们来说probe是一切一切的开始，看看dm9000驱动probe需要用要的结构体

确实是如此庞大的一个结构体，让人畏惧的感觉，饭要一口一口吃啊O(∩_∩)O~
另外，还是认识一下另一个上面提到的庞大结构体吧，sk_buff
