Android 与Linux Kernel


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
Gold-Fish平台采用的是ARM926T CPU作为BaseBand处理器, 该CPU主频至少为200M HZ. 采用MSM7201A CPU(ARM 11)作为主CPU, 其主频为528M HZ.
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
Android 日志系统: Logger
Android 电源管理: Power
Android 闹钟管理: Alarm
Android 内存控制台: Ram_console
Android 时钟控制的gpio: Timed_gpio
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
. 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
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

Goldfish Audio <-> arch/arm/mach-goldfish/audio.c
Goldfish pdev-bus <-> arch/arm/mach-goldfish/board-goldfish.c
                                        arch/arm/mach-goldfish/pdev_bus.c
Goldfish power management
                                <-> arch/arm/mach-goldfish/pm.c
Goldfish switch device(我觉得这是一个test device)
                                <-> arch/arm/mach-goldfish/switch.c
Goldfish timer         <-> arch/arm/mach-goldfish/timer.c
Goldfish tty             <-> drivers/char/goldfish_tty.c
Goldfish mmc(multi-media card)         
                               <-> drivers/mmc/host/goldfish.c
Goldfish keyboard <->drivers/input/keyboard/goldfish_events.c
Goldfish Nand        <-> drivers/mtd/devices/goldfish_nand.c
goldfish battery    <-> drivers/power/goldfish_battery.c
Goldfish rtc <-> drivers/rtc/rtc-goldfish.c
Goldfish framebuffer <-> drivers/video/goldfishfb.c 
And others:
        drivers/leds/ledtrig-sleep.c
        drivers/misc/lowmemorykiller.c
        drivers/misc/qemutrace/*
        drivers/switch/*
        
        
       

         Normally we can find all the device hardware info in the android-emulator/qemu/hw directory including goldfish_audio, goldfish_mmc, goldfish_nand, goldfish_tty, goldfish_events_device, goldfish_battery, goldfish_fb, goldfish_timer,goldfish_switch.

In the end the Google Android use YAFFS2 file system which is a NAND file system, more info is here (http://discuz-android.blogspot.com/2008/01/yaffsyaffs2-and-jffs2-comparison.html)
