Android内核的简单分析

Android内核的简单分析

NeilWong ()

 

   Google的Android操作系统已经成功面市,因为Android操作系统是基于Linux-2.6.25内核的,并且目前所有的源代码也都全部开放,因此可以简单地加以分析以方便以后向其他平台的移植工作.

 

   首先需要了解的就是Android的一些基本情况,并下载Android的源代码以方便分析.

 

   Android的官方站点:

 

   

 

   Android Source 的官方安装方法:

 

  

 

 

 

   Android的中文站点:

 

    

 

   源代码包的相应联结地址:

  
  


 

   我们可以采用Android官方站点推荐方式来下载Android的源代码,也可以从Android中文站点直接下载源代码程序包,随后再更新和同步.

  

   当采用Android官方推荐方式下载或者需要更新你的源代码时,都需要git工具支持, 当你的系统没有安装git或者git版本过低时,建议从下面的地址更新到最新的git包.(Android要求git版本必须大于1.5.4)

 

   

 

   给git自动升级的方式:

 

   git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git

 

     

   如果采用下载源代码包的方式,下载并展开后,在 .repo/repo 目录下有同步执行的文件repo, 你可以将其拷贝到你的PATH所在路径以备使用,例如/usr/bin等等. 或者也可以从Android站点得到最新的repo文件并复制到PATH所在路径. 

 

   wget 

 

   源代码包解开后,其主目录下存在repo_sync.sh文件, 其主要是执行repo sync以实现和Android站点同步代码包的目的, 当执行出错后将再一次运行repo sync命令直到同步正常结束,但原文件包含错误,建议改成下面的程序:(原文件中少了一个空格)

 

#!/bin/bash
echo "============start repo sync================="
repo sync
while [ $? = 1 ]; do
echo "============sync failed, re-sync again ====="
sleep 3
repo sync
done

 

 

   这样, 运行sh repo_sync.sh就可以自动实现本地代码包的同步和更新动作了.

 

   我在Fedora Core 6上经过同步之后, du -h ./mydroid, 占用空间大约是2.1G

   以下为Android官方公布的架构图：

 

  

 

 

 

 

   在kernel子目录下存放的就是Android的Linux Kernel了, 通过和标准的Linux 2.6.25 Kernel的对比,我们可以发现,其主要增加了以下的内容:

 

   1. 基于ARM架构增加Gold-Fish平台,相应增加的目录如下:

 

      kernel/arch/arm/mach-goldfish

 

      kernel/include/asm-arm/arch-goldfish

 

 

 

 

      目前Google的基于Gold-Fish的手机为G1手机，明年G2手机将面世。

      该手机采用QualComm公司的高性能处理芯片MSM7201A，该芯片以ARM 11作为Application应用处理器，以ARM926T作为BaseBand主处理器(主要承载GSM／GPRS／EDGE／3G等协议栈处理)， 支持JAVA硬加速(ARM本身也自带JAVA硬件处理)，包含GPS Processor, 支持2D/3D图形加速(每秒可处理4百万个多边形),另外还支持最大800万像素的Sensor, 支持MPEG 4/H.263/H.264/Real Media等多种Codec。

      其中ARM926T采用的主频为274M HZ, ARM11的主频为528MHZ. (MSM7200的ARM11的主频为400M HZ)

      因为没有找到MSM7201A的详细DataSheet, 因此可以简单地参考MSM7200的规格:

 

      MSM7200_DataSheet.pdf 

 

      下面为MSM7200架构图: 

        

 

   2. 增加了yaffs2 FLASH文件系统,相应增加的目录为:

 

      kernel/fs/yaffs2

 

      实际上，Android包经过编译后生成的system.img和ramdisk.img文件就是yaffs2格式的包.

   

   3. 增加了Android的相关Driver,相应目录为:

      kernel/drivers/android  

 

      主要分为:

           Android IPC系统:       Binder (binder.c)

           Android 日志系统:       Logger (logger.c)

 

           Android 电源管理:       Power (power.c)

 

           Android 闹钟管理:       Alarm  (alarm.c)

           Android 内存控制台:     Ram_console (ram_console.c)

           Android 时钟控制的gpio: Timed_gpio (timed_gpio.c)


   4. 增加了switch处理, 相应的目录为:

      kernel/drivers/switch/   


   5. 增加了一种新的共享内存处理方式, 相应增加的文件为:

      kernel/mm/ashmem.c  

          
   6.  其他为Linux-2.6.25内核所做的补丁等等，例如BlueTooth, 在此不做详细分析






  
   另外GoldFish平台相关的驱动文件如下:

   1. 字符输出设备:

      kernel/drivers/char/goldfish_tty.c    

   2. 图象显示设备: (Frame Buffer)

      kernel/drivers/video/goldfishfb.c 

   3. 键盘输入设备:

      kernel/drivers/input/keyboard/goldfish_events.c

   4. RTC设备: (Real Time Clock)

      kernel/drivers/rtc/rtc-goldfish.c

   5. USB Device设备:

      kernel/drivers/usb/gadget/android_adb.c

   6. SD卡设备:

      kernel/drivers/mmc/host/goldfish.c
     
   7. FLASH设备:

      kernel/drivers/mtd/devices/goldfish_nand.c

      kernel/drivers/mtd/devices/goldfish_nand_reg.h 

   8. LED设备:

      kernel/drivers/leds/ledtrig-sleep.c

   9. 电源设备:

      kernel/drivers/power/goldfish_battery.c

   10. 音频设备:

       kernel/arch/arm/mach-goldfish/audio.c

   11. 电源管理:

       kernel/arch/arm/mach-goldfish/pm.c

   12. 时钟管理:

       kernel/arch/arm/mach-goldfish/timer.c

  从启动信息可以看出，其主CPU为ARM926EJ-S,并非ARM11 CPU, 说明下载的Emulator内核并非是针对G1手机的，估计只是实现了对ARM926EJ-S CPU的模拟。

   以上为Android内核的大致分析，希望能给有兴趣的人员以简单帮助。
