Platform Devices and Drivers


See <linux/platform_device.h> for the driver model interface to the platform bus: platform_device, and platform_driver. This pseudo-bus is used to connect devices on busses with minimal infrastructure,
like those used to integrate peripherals on many system-on-chip processors, or some "legacy" PC interconnects; as opposed to large formally specified ones like PCI or USB.

Platform devices are devices that typically appear as autonomous entities in the system. This includes legacy port-based devices and host bridges to peripheral buses, and most controllers integrated into system-on-chip platforms. What they usually have in common is direct addressing from a CPU bus. Rarely, a platform_device will be connected through a segment of some other kind of bus; but its registers will still be directly addressable.

hi3798cv200 android 编译


烧写工具HiTool-STB-3.1.35.zip 会在成功编译镜像后自动拷贝到out文件夹。

参考ServerInstall.sh进行初始化环境,主要是包含java 、python、依赖库、gcc安装,然而很多依赖版本过低,所以必须要添加 ubuntu12.04或者14.04源安装。

android boot image


全志 a64 linux sdk采用了android 的boot image,这里顺着该sdk系统理解android的引导镜像。

如下linux-3.10/scripts/build.sh 代码片段显示,在完成内核编译后,改脚本直接将kernel的二进制可执行文件和cpio的gzip压缩包rootfs.cpio.gz 一起合并进入boot.img。

ramfs


Ramfs is a very simple FileSystem that exports Linux's disk cacheing mechanisms (the page cache and dentry cache) as a dynamically resizable ram-based filesystem.

ramfs 是一个基于linux缓存机制(page cache and dentry cache)的简易文件系统,基于ram,大小可动态调整。
