Linux2.6.20添加Nor Flash MTD驱动

开发板上只有Nor Flash，所以为了实现层次文件系统，需要为Linux2.6.20增加Nor Flash MTD驱动支持。其实工作量并不大，因为已经有现成的程序可供参考。

MTD的驱动程序都集中在drivers/mtd里面。我们需要做的，仅仅是在drivers/mtd/maps下增加自己的分区表。因为有参考的代码，所以比较容易。

（1）构建配置选项

首先，根据edb7312.c构建自己的mtd分区表驱动。

$cd drivers/mtd/maps/
$cp edb7312.c at91rm9200.c

然后，修改Kconfig，增加自己的配置选项。

//拷贝过EDB7312稍作修改即可
config MTD_AT91RM9200
tristate "CFI Flash device mapped on AT91RM9200"
depends on ARM && MTD_CFI
help
This enables access to the CFI Flash on the ATMEL AT91RM9200DK board.
If you have such a board, say 'Y' here.

最后，修改Makefile，增加编译项目。

obj-$(CONFIG_MTD_EDB7312) += edb7312.o
obj-$(CONFIG_MTD_AT91RM9200) += at91rm9200.o

这样，自己建立的MTD分区表驱动就可以编译进内核了。

（2）修改分区表信息

因为第一步的工作中，at91rm9200.c实际上还是edb7312.c的内容，所以需要根据自己的开发板nor flash的配置做一下修改。

（3）配置内核

增加MTD，和相应的文件系统的支持。

Devices Drivers --->
Memory Technology Devices (MTD) --->
Memory Technology Device(MTD) support
MTD partitioning support
Direct char device access to MTD devices
Caching block device access to MTD devices
RAM/ROM/Flash chip drivers --->
Detect flash chips by Common Flash Interface(CFI) probe
Support for Intel/Sharp flash chips
Mapping drivers for chip access --->
CFI Flash device mapped on AT91RM9200
File Systems --->
Miscellaneous filesystems --->
这里选择cramfs或者Jffs2的支持。

（4）编译，然后加载

make Image编译，然后制作成uImage。

TOPDIR=$($(which pwd))
TMP=$TOPDIR/linux.bin
TARGET=$TOPDIR/uImage
arm-linux-objcopy -O binary -S vmlinux $TMP && gzip -v9 $TMP && /
mkimage -n 'RAM disk' -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C gzip /
-a 0x20008000 -e 0x20008000 -d $TMP.gz $TARGET && /
cp $TARGET /mnt/hgfs/common && /
rm -f $TMP*

这是JFFS2作为根文件系统的信息：

AT91RM9200-NOR:0x00800000 at 0x10000000
NOR flash on AT91RM9200DK: Found 1 x16 devices at 0x0 in 16-bit bank
Intel/Sharp Extended Query Table at 0x0031
Using buffer write method
cfi_cmdset_0001: Erase suspend on write enabled

Creating 5 MTD partitions on "NOR flash on AT91RM9200DK":

0x00220000-0x00520000 : "RootFS"
0x00520000-0x007e0000 : "Jffs2"
0x007e0000-0x00800000 : "Parameters"

JFFS2 notice: (1) jffs2_build_xattr_subsystem: complete building xattr subsystem, 0 of xdatum (0 unchecked, 0 orphan) and 0 of xref (0 dead, 0 orphan) found.
VFS: Mounted root (jffs2 filesystem).

init started: BusyBox v1.9.1 (2008-03-15 15:28:44 CST)

可以看到MTD分区信息。进入shell界面，然后查看/proc/mtd，如下：

[root@lqm ~]#cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00800000 00020000 "NOR flash on AT91RM9200DK"
mtd1: 00020000 00020000 "U-boot"
mtd2: 00200000 00020000 "Kernel"
mtd3: 00300000 00020000 "RootFS"
mtd4: 002c0000 00020000 "Jffs2"
mtd5: 00020000 00020000 "Parameters"

可以看到加载是正确的。

附：MAC地址全零的解决
/*
* Set the ethernet MAC address in dev->dev_addr
*/
static void __init get_mac_address(struct net_device *dev)
{
#if 0
/* Check Specific-Address 1 */
if (unpack_mac_address(dev, at91_emac_read(AT91_EMAC_SA1H), at91_emac_read(AT91_EMAC_SA1L)))
return;
/* Check Specific-Address 2 */
if (unpack_mac_address(dev, at91_emac_read(AT91_EMAC_SA2H), at91_emac_read(AT91_EMAC_SA2L)))
return;
/* Check Specific-Address 3 */
if (unpack_mac_address(dev, at91_emac_read(AT91_EMAC_SA3H), at91_emac_read(AT91_EMAC_SA3L)))
return;
/* Check Specific-Address 4 */
if (unpack_mac_address(dev, at91_emac_read(AT91_EMAC_SA4H), at91_emac_read(AT91_EMAC_SA4L)))
return;
#endif
static char def_mac[] = {0x36, 0xB9, 0x04, 0x00, 0x24, 0x80};
memcpy(dev->dev_addr, def_mac, 6);
printk(KERN_ERR "at91_ether: Your bootloader did not configure a MAC address./n");
}

位置是drivers/net/arm/at91_ether.c。这样就获得临时解决了。
