5.1，添加Yaffs2镜像烧写功能
由于现在很多使用Nand Flash 的系统，在Linux 下都用Yaffs2作为存储数据的文件系统，甚至是根文件系统。所以在BootLoader 下能够烧写Yaffs2 映像文件变得很必要。对于Yaffs2 映像烧写的支持其实就是在烧写时，写入数据的同时，将镜像文件中的oob数据也写入到Nand Flash 的Spare 区。这和Yaffs 文件系统原理以及Nand Flash 的结构有关，注意：这里对Nand的操作是基于MTD架构方式。
通常一个Nnad Flash存储设备由若干块组成，1个块由若干页组成。一般128MB以下容量的Nand Flash芯片，一页大小为528B，被依次分为2个256B的主数据区和16B的额外空间；128MB以上容量的Nand Flash芯片，一页大小通常为2KB。由于Nand Flash出现位反转的概率较大，一般在读写时需要使用ECC进行错误检验和恢复。
Yaffs/yaffs2文件系统的设计充分考虑到Nand Flash以页为存取单位等的特点，将文件组织成固定大小的段(Chunk)。以528B的页为例，Yaffs/yaffs2文件系统使用前512B存储 数据和16B的额外空间存放数据的ECC和文件系统的组织信息等(称为OOB数据)。通过OOB数据，不但能实现错误检测和坏块处理，同时还可以避免加载 时对整个存储介质的扫描，加快了文件系统的加载速度。以下是Yaffs/yaffs2文件系统页的结构说明：
Yaffs页结构说明
==============================================
字节 用途
==============================================
0 - 511 存储数据(分为两个半部)
512 - 515 系统信息
516 数据状态字
517 块状态字
518 - 519 系统信息
520 - 522 后半部256字节的ECC
523 - 524 系统信息
525 - 527 前半部256字节的ECC
==============================================
好了，在了解Nand Flash组成和Yaffs/yaffs2文件系统结构后，我们再回到u-boot中。目前，在u-boot中已经有对Cramfs、Jffs2等文件系统的读写支持，但与带有数据校验等功能的OOB区的Yaffs/Yaffs2文件系统相比，他们是将所有文件数据简单的以线性表形式组织的。所以，我们只要在此基础上通过修改u-boot的Nand Flash读写命令，增加处理00B区域数据的功能，即可以实现对Yaffs/Yaffs2文件系统的读写支持。
实现u-boot对Yaffs或者Yaffs2文件系统的读写支持步骤如下：
【1】下面是需要修改的 4 个文件的补丁：
(1)打开/common/cmd_nand.c，定位到392行，在nand操作的do_nand函数中，修改如下：
if (read)
ret = nand_read_skip_bad(nand, off, &size,
(u_char *)addr);
else
ret = nand_write_skip_bad(nand, off, &size,
(u_char *)addr);
}
#if defined(CONFIG_MTD_NAND_YAFFS2)
else if (s != NULL && (!strcmp(s, ".yaffs2")))
{
nand->rw_oob = 1;
nand->skipfirstblk = 1;
ret = nand_write_skip_bad(nand,off,&size,(u_char *)addr);
nand->skipfirstblk = 0;
nand->rw_oob = 0;
}
#endif
else if (!strcmp(s, ".oob")) {
/* out-of-band data */
mtd_oob_ops_t ops = {
.oobbuf = (u8 *)addr,
.ooblen = size,
.mode = MTD_OOB_RAW
};
... ...
定位到509行附近，在Nand操作的命令集列表中添加Yaffs2对Nand的读写命令，修改如下
U_BOOT_CMD(nand, CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS, 1, do_nand,
"NAND sub-system",
"info - show available NAND devices\n"
"nand device [dev] - show or set current device\n"
"nand read - addr off|partition size\n"
"nand write - addr off|partition size\n"
" read/write 'size' bytes starting at offset 'off'\n"
" to/from memory address 'addr', skipping bad blocks.\n"
"nand erase [clean] [off size] - erase 'size' bytes from\n"
" offset 'off' (entire device if not specified)\n"
#if defined(CONFIG_MTD_NAND_YAFFS2)
"nand write[.yaffs2] - addr off|partition size - write `size' byte yaffs image\n"
" starting at offset off' from memory address addr' (.yaffs2 for 512+16 NAND)\n"
#endif
"nand bad - show bad blocks\n"
"nand dump[.oob] off - dump page\n"
"nand scrub - really clean NAND erasing bad blocks (UNSAFE)\n"
"nand markbad off [...] - mark bad block(s) at offset (UNSAFE)\n"
"nand biterr off - make a bit error at offset (UNSAFE)"
#ifdef CONFIG_CMD_NAND_LOCK_UNLOCK
"\n"
"nand lock [tight] [status]\n"
" bring nand to lock state or display locked pages\n"
"nand unlock [offset] [size] - unlock section"
#endif
);
注意：这里只添加了yaffs2的写命令，u-boot下载用的是写功能。
(2)打开include/linux/mtd/mtd.h头文件，定位到131行，在mtd_info结构体中添加上面用到rw_oob和skipfirstblk数据成员，修改如下：
u_int32_t writesize;
#if defined(CONFIG_MTD_NAND_YAFFS2)
/*Thanks for hugerat's code*/
u_char rw_oob;
u_char skipfirstblk;
#endif
u_int32_t oobsize; /* Amount of OOB data per block (e.g. 16) */
u_int32_t oobavail; /* Available OOB bytes per block */
(3)在第一步关联的nand_write_skip_bad函数中添加对Nand OOB的相关操作，修改如下：
打开/drivers/mtd/nand/nand_util.c，定位到483行，在nand_write_skip_bad函数中添加代码，修改如下：
int nand_write_skip_bad(nand_info_t *nand, loff_t offset, size_t *length,
u_char *buffer)
{
int rval;
size_t left_to_write = *length;
size_t len_incl_bad;
u_char *p_buffer = buffer;
#if defined(CONFIG_MTD_NAND_YAFFS2)
if(nand->rw_oob==1)
{
size_t oobsize = nand->oobsize;
size_t datasize = nand->writesize;
int datapages = 0;
if (((*length)%(nand->oobsize+nand->writesize)) != 0)
{
printf ("Attempt to write error length data!\n");
return -EINVAL;
}
datapages = *length/(datasize+oobsize);
*length = datapages*datasize;
left_to_write = *length;
}
#endif
/* Reject writes, which are not page aligned */
if ((offset & (nand->writesize - 1)) != 0 ||
(*length & (nand->writesize - 1)) != 0) {
printf ("Attempt to write non page aligned data\n");
return -EINVAL;
}
len_incl_bad = get_len_incl_bad (nand, offset, *length);
if ((offset + len_incl_bad) >= nand->size) {
printf ("Attempt to write outside the flash area\n");
return -EINVAL;
}
#if !defined(CONFIG_MTD_NAND_YAFFS2)//add yaffs2 file system support
if (len_incl_bad == *length) {
rval = nand_write (nand, offset, length, buffer);
if (rval != 0)
printf ("NAND write to offset %llx failed %d\n",
offset, rval);
return rval;
}
#endif
while (left_to_write > 0) {
size_t block_offset = offset & (nand->erasesize - 1);
size_t write_size;
WATCHDOG_RESET ();
if (nand_block_isbad (nand, offset & ~(nand->erasesize - 1))) {
printf ("Skip bad block 0x%08llx\n",
offset & ~(nand->erasesize - 1));
offset += nand->erasesize - block_offset;
continue;
}
#if defined(CONFIG_MTD_NAND_YAFFS2) //add yaffs2 file system support
if(nand->skipfirstblk==1)
{
nand->skipfirstblk=0;
printf ("Skip the first good block %llx\n", offset & ~(nand->erasesize - 1));
offset += nand->erasesize - block_offset;
continue;
}
#endif
if (left_to_write < (nand->erasesize - block_offset))
write_size = left_to_write;
else
write_size = nand->erasesize - block_offset;
printf("\rWriting at 0x%llx -- ",offset); //add yaffs2 file system support
rval = nand_write (nand, offset, &write_size, p_buffer);
if (rval != 0) {
printf ("NAND write to offset %llx failed %d\n",
offset, rval);
*length -= left_to_write;
return rval;
}
left_to_write -= write_size;
printf("%d%% is complete.",100-(left_to_write/(*length/100)));/*Thanks for hugerat's code*/
offset += write_size;
#if defined(CONFIG_MTD_NAND_YAFFS2)
/*Thanks for hugerat's code*/
if(nand->rw_oob==1) {
p_buffer += write_size+(write_size/nand->writesize*nand->oobsize);
} else {
p_buffer += write_size;
}
#else
p_buffer += write_size;
#endif
}
return 0;
}
(4)在第三步的nand_write_skip_bad函数中我们看到又对nand_write函数进行了访问，所以这一步是到nand_write函数中添加对yaffs2的支持。
打开/drivers/mtd/nand/nand_base.c，定位到1961行，修改如下：
static int nand_write(struct mtd_info *mtd, loff_t to, size_t len,
size_t *retlen, const uint8_t *buf)
{
struct nand_chip *chip = mtd->priv;
int ret;
#if defined(CONFIG_MTD_NAND_YAFFS2)
/*Thanks for hugerat's code!*/
int oldopsmode = 0;
if(mtd->rw_oob==1)
{
int i = 0;
int datapages = 0;
size_t oobsize = mtd->oobsize;
size_t datasize = mtd->writesize;
uint8_t oobtemp[oobsize];
datapages = len / (datasize);
for(i = 0; i < (datapages); i++)
{
memcpy((void *)oobtemp, (void *)(buf + datasize * (i + 1)), oobsize);
memmove((void *)(buf + datasize * (i + 1)),
(void *)(buf + datasize * (i + 1) + oobsize),
(datapages - (i + 1)) * (datasize) + (datapages - 1) * oobsize);
memcpy((void *)(buf+(datapages) * (datasize + oobsize) - oobsize),
(void *)(oobtemp), oobsize);
}
}
#endif
/* Do not allow reads past end of device */
if ((to + len) > mtd->size)
return -EINVAL;
if (!len)
return 0;
nand_get_device(chip, mtd, FL_WRITING);
chip->ops.len = len;
chip->ops.datbuf = (uint8_t *)buf;
//chip->ops.oobbuf = NULL;
#if defined(CONFIG_MTD_NAND_YAFFS2)//add yaffs2 file system support
/*Thanks for hugerat's code!*/
if(mtd->rw_oob!=1) {
chip->ops.oobbuf = NULL;
} else {
chip->ops.oobbuf = (uint8_t *)(buf+len);
chip->ops.ooblen = mtd->oobsize;
oldopsmode = chip->ops.mode;
chip->ops.mode = MTD_OOB_RAW;
}
#else
chip->ops.oobbuf = NULL;
#endif
ret = nand_do_write_ops(mtd, to, &chip->ops);
*retlen = chip->ops.retlen;
nand_release_device(mtd);
#if defined(CONFIG_MTD_NAND_YAFFS2)//add yaffs2 file system support
/*Thanks for hugerat's code!*/
chip->ops.mode = oldopsmode;
#endif
return ret;
}
【2】在mini2440.h里添加yaffs2相关宏定义
打开include/configs/mini2440.h，定位到98行附近，加入下列代码：
/*
* Command line configuration.
*/
#include <config_cmd_default.h>
#define CONFIG_CMD_CACHE
#define CONFIG_CMD_DATE
#define CONFIG_CMD_ELF
#define CONFIG_CMD_NAND
#define CONFIG_CMD_JFFS2 /* JFFS2 Support*/
... ...
在文件末尾处加入下列代码：
/*-----------------------------------------------------------------------
* NAND flash settings
*/
#if defined(CONFIG_CMD_NAND)
#define CONFIG_NAND_S3C2410
#define CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BASE 0x4E000000
#define CONFIG_SYS_MAX_NAND_DEVICE 1 /* Max number of NAND devices */
#define SECTORSIZE 512
#define SECTORSIZE_2K 2048
#define NAND_SECTOR_SIZE SECTORSIZE
#define NAND_SECTOR_SIZE_2K SECTORSIZE_2K
#define NAND_BLOCK_MASK 511
#define NAND_BLOCK_MASK_2K 2047
#define NAND_MAX_CHIPS 1
#define CONFIG_MTD_NAND_VERIFY_WRITE
#define CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_VSPRINTF /* needed for nand_util.c */
#endif /* CONFIG_CMD_NAND */
#define CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND 1
//#undef CONFIG_JFFS2_CMDLINE
#define CONFIG_JFFS2_DEV "nand0"
#define CONFIG_JFFS2_PART_SIZE 0x480000
#define CONFIG_JFFS2_PART_OFFSET 0x80000
#define CONFIG_JFFS2_CMDLINE 1
#define MTDIDS_DEFAULT "nand0=nandflash0"
#define MTDPARTS_DEFAULT "mtdparts=nandflash0:384k(bootloader)," \
"128k(params)," \
"5m(kernel)," \
"-(root)"
#define CONFIG_MTD_NAND_YAFFS2 1
#define ENABLE_CMD_LOADB_X 1
5.2， 烧录yaffs2文件系统测试
重新编译后下载，nand方式启动，在u-boot的命令行输入nand help查看nand的命令，可以看到多了一个nand write[.yaffs2]的命令：
[u-boot@MINI2440]# nand help
nand - NAND sub-system
Usage:
nand info - show available NAND devices
nand device [dev] - show or set current device
nand read - addr off|partition size
nand write - addr off|partition size
read/write 'size' bytes starting at offset 'off'
to/from memory address 'addr', skipping bad blocks.
nand erase [clean] [off size] - erase 'size' bytes from
offset 'off' (entire device if not specified)
nand write[.yaffs2] - addr off|partition size - write `size' byte yaffs image
starting at offset off' from memory address addr' (.yaffs2 for 512+16 NAND)
nand bad - show bad blocks
nand dump[.oob] off - dump page
nand scrub - really clean NAND erasing bad blocks (UNSAFE)
nand markbad off [...] - mark bad block(s) at offset (UNSAFE)
nand biterr off - make a bit error at offset (UNSAFE)
[u-boot@MINI2440]#
这个就是用来下载yaffs2文件系统到nand中的命令了。首先需要将友善官方提供的有关mini2440的yaffs2文件系统文件root_qtopia-128M.img复制到linux宿主机的/tftpboot目录下，然后执行：

打开/net/net.c，定位到104行附近，修改如下：
#if defined(CONFIG_CMD_NET)
DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR;
#ifndef CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
# define ARP_TIMEOUT 10000UL*CONFIG_SYS_HZ/1000 //5000UL /* Milliseconds before trying ARP again */

NetSetTimeout (10000UL*CONFIG_SYS_HZ/1000, startAgainTimeout);
NetSetHandler (startAgainHandler);
#else /* !CONFIG_NET_MULTI*/
定位到585行附近，修改如下：
eth_init (gd->bd);
if (NetRestartWrap) {
NetRestartWrap = 0;
if (NetDevExists && !once) {

static int CDPOK;
打开/net/tftp.c，定位到16行，修改如下：
#define TIMEOUT 60000UL //5000UL /* Millisecs to timeout for lost pkt */
然后重新编译后下载测试：

可以看到，yaffs2文件系统烧录成功。下一步需要加载内核来挂载yaffs2文件系统。
接下来将进入u-boot的第六阶段，为u-boot-2009.08 增加引导内核功能。
