AM335x ARM Cortex-A8 Boot Sequence

圖1 為AM335x開機流程，其包含ROM Code、MLO、U-Boot與OS Image，底下將說明ROM Code、MLO與U-Boot。

.. image:: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-6t7H14Lj3Bc/VT3n0BPjOaI/AAAAAAAAH9M/woI49MW-TC4/w1099-h752-no/am335x-boot-sequence.png 圖1 High-level Overview to AM335x Boot Sequence

ROM Code主要有幾項任務: - Stack Setup - Watchdog timer 1 configuration (set to three minutes) - System clock configuration - Search bootable devices (must be the FAT 12/16/32 partition) for a valid booting image (the image name must be MLO) - Load the content of the file “MLO” from a bootable device to internal RAM (the 128KB on-chip memory) - Execute the file “MLO” stored in internal RAM

圖2為ROM Code架構，由“Public ROM Code drivers”可知ROM code支援如下裝置: - MMCSD (MultiMediaCard SD) - NAND - XIP (eXecute In Place) - SPI - USB UART - EMAC (Ethernet Media Access Control)

也就是說，系統一上電，ROM Code會掃描上述裝置，以便找到Bootable device。由於ROM Code只支援FAT檔案系統格式，所以Bootable device一定要是FAT檔案系統 (FAT12/16/32檔案系統都可以)。 注意: 該架構的On-chip boot ROM大小為176 KB。

圖3為ROM Memory Map: - ROM Exception Vectors (0x20000-0x2001F): 該區段定義Exception Handler的位址。譬如: 0x20000存放Reset Handler的位址，也就是板子一上電，第一個執行的地方，課程第七周有詳盡的說明，可參考此文件。詳盡的ROM Exception Vectors如表1所示。

  • Public ROM Code CRC (0x20020): 由0x20000-0x2BFFF計算得出的四個位元組CRC值。
  • Dead loops (0x20080-0x200FF): 該區段定義預設的exception handlers，其預設handlers都是執行while(1)迴圈，程式設計者可以定義相同名字的exception handler，如此便能覆蓋 (override)對應之預設exception handlers。可參考mini-arm-os<https://github.com/jserv/mini-arm-os/blob/master/05-TimerInterrupt/startup.c#L63>_與freertos<https://github.com/embedded2015/freertos-basic/blob/master/freertos/libraries/CMSIS/CM3/DeviceSupport/ST/STM32F10x/startup/gcc_ride7/startup_stm32f10x_md.s#L124>_程式碼，以便了解其設計概念。

MMU Configuration in RT-Thread

MRC/MCR Instruction MMU設定跟Coprocessor 15有關，下圖為Coprocessor 15暫存器配置圖 。

MRC: Move to ARM register from coprocessor
- MRC coproc, opcode1, Rd, CRn, CRm{, opcode2}, where Rd is ARM source register
MCR: Move to coprocessor from ARM registers
- MCR coproc, opcode1, Rd, CRn, CRm{, opcode2}, where Rd is ARM source register

VMM (Virtual Machine Module) and vbus

  • VMM (Virtual Machine Module) VMM模組可同時運行Linux與RT-Thread，如圖五所示。VMM以半虛擬化方式 (para-virtualization)運行另一個OS。

.. image:: https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-49-7jFwVpZM/VUgwLRtPPqI/AAAAAAAAIBs/w0K4npFRaJg/w939-h634-no/rt-thread-vmm.png 圖五、VMM/vbus Framework

三個元件需要用來實現同時運行RT-Thread與Linux，如下所述: 1. Linux VMM Kernel Patches: RT-Thread開發者發佈兩個Kernel Patches <https://github.com/AdrianHuang/rt-thread-for-vmm/tree/master/components/vmm/linux_patch-v3.8>_支援多個作業系統同時運行。 2. Linux VMM Kernel Module (rtvmm.ko): 此模組用來載入RT-Thread Binary File。 3. RT-Thread Binary File (rtthread.bin): RT-Thread作業系統二進制檔。

[編譯與執行]

rt-thread-vmm-builder <https://github.com/AdrianHuang/rt-thread-vmm-builder>_自動地將Linux VMM Kernel Patches、Linux VMM Kernel Module與RT-Thread Binary File編譯，並產生kernel image (zImage)與root file system。參考底下步驟 (同時可參考rt-thread-vmm-builder README檔 <https://github.com/AdrianHuang/rt-thread-vmm-builder>_建構環境及相關Toolchain):

.. code-block:: prettyprint

git clone https://github.com/AdrianHuang/rt-thread-vmm-builder.git
cd rt-thread-vmm-builder/
make
make qemu

執行’make qemu’後， 會啟動qemu模擬器，Linux console與RT-Thread console切換鍵如下: 1. Linux Console -> Ctrl+Alt+F3 2. RT-Thread Console -> Ctrl+Alt+F4
