The functions are exported by U-Boot via a jump table. The jump - table is allocated and initialized in the jumptable_init() routine - (common/exports.c). Other routines may also modify the jump table, - however. The jump table can be accessed as the 'jt' field of the - 'global_data' structure. The slot numbers for the jump table are - defined in the <include/exports.h> header. E.g., to substitute the - malloc() and free() functions that will be available to standalone - applications, one should do the following: - - DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR; - - gd->jt[XF_malloc] = my_malloc; - gd->jt[XF_free] = my_free; - - Note that the pointers to the functions all have 'void *' type and - thus the compiler cannot perform type checks on these assignments. - -2. The pointer to the jump table is passed to the application in a - machine-dependent way. PowerPC, ARM, MIPS, Blackfin and Nios II - architectures use a dedicated register to hold the pointer to the - 'global_data' structure: r2 on PowerPC, r8 on ARM, k0 on MIPS, - P3 on Blackfin and gp on Nios II. The x86 architecture does not - use such a register; instead, the pointer to the 'global_data' - structure is passed as 'argv[-1]' pointer. - - The application can access the 'global_data' structure in the same - way as U-Boot does: - - DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR; - - printf("U-Boot relocation offset: %x\n", gd->reloc_off); - -3. The application should call the app_startup() function before any - call to the exported functions. Also, implementor of the - application may want to check the version of the ABI provided by - U-Boot. To facilitate this, a get_version() function is exported - that returns the ABI version of the running U-Boot. I.e., a - typical application startup may look like this: - - int my_app (int argc, char * const argv[]) - { - app_startup (argv); - if (get_version () != XF_VERSION) - return 1; - } - -4. The default load and start addresses of the applications are as - follows: - - Load address Start address - x86 0x00040000 0x00040000 - PowerPC 0x00040000 0x00040004 - ARM 0x0c100000 0x0c100000 - MIPS 0x80200000 0x80200000 - Blackfin 0x00001000 0x00001000 - NDS32 0x00300000 0x00300000 - Nios II 0x02000000 0x02000000 - - For example, the "hello world" application may be loaded and - executed on a PowerPC board with the following commands: - - => tftp 0x40000 hello_world.bin - => go 0x40004 - -5. To export some additional function foobar(), the following steps - should be undertaken: - - - Append the following line at the end of the include/_exports.h - file: - - EXPORT_FUNC(foobar) - - - Add the prototype for this function to the include/exports.h - file: - - void foobar(void); - - - Add the initialization of the jump table slot wherever - appropriate (most likely, to the jumptable_init() function): - - gd->jt[XF_foobar] = foobar; - - - Increase the XF_VERSION value by one in the include/exports.h - file - -6. The code for exporting the U-Boot functions to applications is - mostly machine-independent. The only places written in assembly - language are stub functions that perform the jump through the jump - table. That said, to port this code to a new architecture, the - only thing to be provided is the code in the examples/stubs.c - file. If this architecture, however, uses some uncommon method of - passing the 'global_data' pointer (like x86 does), one should add - the respective code to the app_startup() function in that file. - - Note that these functions may only use call-clobbered registers; - those registers that are used to pass the function's arguments, - the stack contents and the return address should be left intact. |
