u-boot使用

下载与烧写

使用U-boot将映像文件烧写到板上的Flash，一般步骤是： （1）通过网络、串口、U盘、SD卡等方式将文件传输到SDRAM； （2）使用Nand Flash或Nor Flash相关的读写命令将SDRAM中的数据烧入Flash。

下面是烧写范例： 如果使用 SD卡和U盘形式更新U-boot，那么首先SD卡和U盘中必须有FAT32文件系统，并在里面存放了u-boot.bin 文件。 1) 通过SD卡烧入Nand Flash：

[u-boot@MINI2440]# mmc init

mmc: Probing for SDHC ...

mmc: SD 2.0 or later card found

2) 通过U盘烧入Nor Flash：

[u-boot@MINI2440]# usb start

3) 通过TFTP服务烧入Nand Flash：

内核引导

内核的引导步骤如下： （1）用U-boot的mkimage工具处理内核映像zImage。 （2）通过网络、串口、U盘、SD卡等方式将处理过的内核映像传输到SDRAM的一定位置（一般使用0x30008000） （3）然后使用”bootm"等内核引导命令来启动内核。

为什么要用U-boot的mkimage工具处理内核映像zImage？

因为在用bootm命令引导内核的时候，bootm需要读取一个64字节的文件头，来获取这个内核映象所针对的CPU体系结构、OS、加载到内存中的位置、在内存中入口点的位置以及映象名等等信息。这样bootm才能为OS设置好启动环境，并跳入内核映象的入口点。而mkimage就是添加这个文件头的专用工具。具体的实现请看U-boot中bootm的源码和mkimage的源码。

mkimage工具的使用：

 

参数说明：

-A指定CPU的体系结构，可用值有：alpha、arm 、x86、ia64、mips、mips64、ppc 、s390、sh、sparc 、sparc64、m68k等

-O指定操作系统类型，可用值有：openbsd、netbsd、freebsd、4_4bsd、linux、svr4、esix、solaris、irix、sco、dell、ncr、lynxos、vxworks、psos、qnx、u-boot、rtems、artos

-T指定映象类型，可用值有：standalone、kernel、ramdisk、multi、firmware、script、filesystem

-C指定映象压缩方式，可用值有：

none 不压缩(一般使用这个，因为zImage是已经被bzip2压缩过的自解压内核)

gzip 用gzip的压缩方式

bzip2 用bzip2的压缩方式

-a指定映象在内存中的加载地址，映象下载到内存中时，要按照用mkimage制作映象时，这个参数所指定的地址值来下载

-e 指定映象运行的入口点地址，这个地址就是-a参数指定的值加上0x40（因为前面有个mkimage添加的0x40个字节的头）

-n 指定映象名

-d指定制作映象的源文件

 

以下是制作内核映像的命令示例：

mkimage -n 'tekkaman' -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x30008000 -e 0x30008040 -d zImage zImage.img

 

以下是使用范例： 1) 通过SD卡引导内核： 首先SD卡中必须有FAT32文件系统，并在里面存放了处理过的内核映像文件。

[u-boot@MINI2440]# mmc init

4) 通过Nand Flash引导内核：    首先要将处理过的内核映像文件烧入Nand Flash的一定位置（由内核分区表决定）。以后每次启动时用Nand Flash的读取命令先将这个内核映像文件读到内存的一定位置（由制作内核映像时的-a参数决定），再使用bootm命令引导内核。

内核映像文件的烧入：
