U-Boot 是一个主要用于嵌入式系统的引导加载程序,可以支持多种不同的计算机系统结构,包括PPC、ARM、AVR32、MIPS、x86、68k、Nios与MicroBlaze。这也是一套在GNU通用公共许可证之下发布的自由软件。
U-Boot本质是一个裸机程序,是一种普遍用于嵌入式系统中的开源的Bootloader,作用是用来引导操作系统,以及给开发人员提供测试调试工具。主要负责基本硬件初始化,导启动内核启动。
U-Boot命令众多,通过uboot命令可完成系统环境变量设置。U-Boot本质就是一份裸机程序,这样可以在U-Boot命令下调试一些硬件设备问题。U-Boot命令行也是可以实现自动补全功能。

4.串口传输二进制文件到DDR:laody用法:loady [内存地址] [波特率]
TINY4412 # ? loady
loady - load binary file over serial line (ymodem mode)
Usage:
loady [ off ] [ baud ]
- load binary file over serial line with offset 'off' and baudrate 'baud'
[ off ] [ baud ]为选填参数。不填则有由系统选择。

5.磁盘分区命令:fdisk用法:
fdisk -p <设备号>
fdisk -c <设备号> [<系统分区大小(MB)> <用户数据分区大小> <缓存分区大小>]
fdisk命令一次实现4个分区
TINY4412 # ? fdisk
fdisk - fdisk for sd/mmc.

6.安装文件系统当前uboot命令中支持文件系统格式有ext2、ext3、fat32。
安装文件示例
下面以fat32为例安装文件系统。
用法:fatformat mmc <设备号:分区号>
TINY4412 # ? fatformat
fatformat - fatformat - disk format by FAT32
Usage:
fatformat

size checking ...
Under 16G
write FAT info: 32
Fat size : 0x2dc3
Erase FAT region...................................................................................................................................................
(only>
7.查看设备指定目录下文件:fatls用法:
fatls <设备号:分区号> [目录路径]
TINY4412 # ? fatls
fatls - list files in a directory (default /)
Usage:
fatls [directory]
- list files from 'dev' on 'interface' in a 'directory'
//查看设备0的根目录下的文件
TINY4412 # fatls mmc 0 /
Partition1: Start Address(0x4b800), Size(0x1cd6000)
system volume information/
images/
0 file(s), 2 dir(s)
[:part]>
7.加载设备中二进制文件到内存:fatload用法:
fatls <设备号:分区号> <内存地址> <文件名> [加载字节数]
TINY4412 # ? fatload
fatload - fatload - load binary file from a dos filesystem
Usage:
fatload [bytes]
- load binary file 'filename' from 'dev' on 'interface'
to address 'addr' from dos filesystem
//从设备0中读取mian.bin文件到40008000
TINY4412 # fatload mmc 0 40008000 /main.bin
Partition1: Start Address(0x4b800), Size(0x1cd6000)
reading /main.bin
656 bytes read
//跳转到40008000中执行main.bin文件
TINY4412 # go 40008000
[:part]>
9.mmc子系统mmc命令功能
mmc read 从指定设备中读数据到内存
mmc write 将指定内存中的数据写到设备中
mmc rescan 扫描检测硬件改动
mmc erase 擦除
mmc list列举可用设备
TINY4412 # ? mmc
mmc - MMC sub system
Usage:
mmc read addr blk# cnt #从设备中读取数据到内存中
mmc write addr blk# cnt #将地址中的数据写入到设备中
mmc rescan
mmc erase
mmc list - lists available devices
//从设备0中第1057个扇区连续读12288个扇区到40009000地址中
TINY4412 # mmc read 0 40009000 421 3000
MMC read: dev # 0, block # 1057, count 12288 ... 12288 blocks read: OK
//跳转到40009000中执行
TINY4412 # bootm 40009000
10.movi子系统movi命令功能
movi init 初始化和显示设备信息。
movi read 从sd或mmc中读bl1.bin、bl2.bin、uboot、kernel、tzsw.bin文件到指定内存地址中。
movi write 将指定内存地址中bl1.bin、bl2.bin、uboot、kernel、tzsw.bin写入到sd或mmc中。
movi read rootfs读根文件系统到指定内存地址中。
movi write rootfs将指定内存地址中根文件系统写入到sd或mmc中。
TINY4412 # ? movi
movi - movi - sd/mmc r/w sub system for SMDK board
Usage:
movi init - Initialize moviNAND and show card info
movi read zero {fwbl1 | u-boot} {device_number} {addr} - Read data from sd/mmc
movi write zero {fwbl1 | u-boot} {device_number} {addr} - Read data from sd/mmc
movi read {u-boot | kernel} {device_number} {addr} - Read data from sd/mmc
movi write {fwbl1 | u-boot | kernel} {device_number} {addr} - Write data to sd/mmc
movi read rootfs {device_number} {addr} [bytes(hex)] - Read rootfs data from sd/mmc by size
movi write rootfs {device_number} {addr} [bytes(hex)] - Write rootfs data to sd/mmc by size
movi read {sector#} {device_number} {bytes(hex)} {addr} - instead of this, you can use "mmc read"
movi write {sector#} {device_number} {bytes(hex)} {addr} - instead of this, you can use "mmc write"
tiny4412开发板bl1、bl2、uboot、kernel、tzsw、rootfs在SD卡和EMMC中存储格式:
将bl1、bl2、uboot、kernel从SD卡拷贝到EMMC中示例:
//从设备0读取bl1.bin到内存,再写入到设备1中
movi r f 0 40008000;emmc open 1;movi w z f 1 40008000;emmc close 1;
//从设备0读取bl2.bin到内存,再写入到设备1中
movi r b 0 40008000;emmc open 1;movi w z b 1 40008000;emmc close 1;
//从设备0读取完整uboot到内存,再写入到设备1中
movi r u 0 40008000;emmc open 1;movi w z u 1 40008000;emmc close 1;
//从设备0读取kernel到内存,再写入到设备1中
movi r k 0 40008000;movi w k 1 40008000;
注意:由于SD卡存储和EMMC存储bl1、bl2、uboot、tzsw这几个文件时总是相册一个扇区,所以从EMMC中读取bl1、bl2、uboot、tzsw这几个文件时要使用movi read zero命令来完成。写入bl1、bl2、uboot、tzsw这几个文件到EMMC时要使用movi write zero命令来完成 。
