1.1.1          网络驱动程序的特点
    网络驱动程序是介于硬件和内核之间传送数据包,不是面向流的设备,不能象/dev/tty1那样简单的映射到文件系统的节点上。Linux调用这些接口的方式是给他们分配一个独立的名字(如eth0)。这样的名字在文件系统中并没有对应项。内核和网络设备驱动程序之间的通信与字符设备驱动程序和快设备驱动程序与内核间的通信是完全不同的。内核不再调用read/write,它调用与数据包传送相关的函数。
1.1.2          DM9000 以太网芯片介绍
网络控制器选用DAVICOM公司的DM9000快速以太网控制处理器,合成了MAC, PHY, MMU。该处理器配备有标准10/100M自适应,16K大容量的FIFO,4路多功能GPIO,掉电,全双工工作等功能。物理层支持以太网接口协议。由于数据有时是以猝发形式收到的,因此,DM9000还集成有接收缓冲区,以便在接收到数据时能把数据放到这个缓冲区中,然后由数据链路层直接从该缓冲区里取走数据。链路层通常包括操作系统中的设备驱动程序和计算机中对应的网络接口卡,它们一起处理与电缆的物理接口细节数据,它的缓冲区可用来暂时存储要发送或接收的帧。
网络控制器包括MACPHY两个部分,其中MAC层控制器作为逻辑控制。

1.2.2          步骤二:在Linux平台上编译和运行简单的网络设备驱动程序
编译驱动程序需要编写Makefile文件,与其他驱动的Makefile类似。
#   Makefile for net_test.c

 

#                              a simple net device driver

 

#                                  Aka   2006.08

 

OBJS = net_test.o

 

SRC = net_test.c

 

 

CC          = /usr/local/arm/2.95.3/bin/arm-linux-gcc 

 

LD          = /usr/local/arm/2.95.3/bin/arm-linux-ld

 

 

#INCLUDE = -I/HHARM2410-R3/kernel/include/linux -I/HHARM2410-R3/kernel/include

 

INCLUDE = -I/9200E/arm-kernel/linux-2.4.19-rmk7/include

 

 

CFLAGS = -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -Wmissing-prototypes

 

 

All: $(OBJS)

 

 

%.o:%.c

 

         $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(INCLUDE) -c $^ -o $@

 

 

.PHONY: clean

 

clean:

 

         -rm -f *.o

 

distclean:

 

         @make clean

 

         rm -f tags *~

 

编译,测试驱动文件net_test.o,要把这个文件下载到HHARM2410的开发平台上,需要建立好主机与开发板的连接和开发环境。参考附录一建立开发环境。

 

在主机上编译驱动程序,在源文件目下输入
[localhost]# make

 

生成驱动文件模块test_net.o
通过网络或者NFS,把驱动文件net_test.o传到开发板的系统中。
加载驱动模块如下
[localhost]# insmod test_net.o

 

卸载驱动模块如下:

 

[localhost]# rmmod test_net.o

1.1.1           步骤三:网络驱动程序的数据结构和抽象接口

首先熟悉以下重要的数据结构,然后对照 DM9000 的驱动程序,察看具体数据结构的用法。

保存网络设备信息的结构体 net_device

net_device 结构存储了网络设备的操作方法和其他信息。其定义如下面的清单。仅仅列出了部分常用的成员,对于普通的网络设备驱动程序已足够。想详细了解的结构体参考LDD(Linux Device Driver)或内核源码/include/linux/netdevice.h

 

程序清单 0 2

struct net_device

 

{

 

     char               name[IFNAMSIZ];

 

     unsigned short     flags;   /* interface flags (a la BSD)    */

 

     unsigned long      base_addr;    /* device I/O address  */

 

     unsigned int       irq;     /* device IRQ number   */

 

     unsigned char      dev_addr[MAX_ADDR_LEN];/* hw address*/

 

     unsigned char      addr_len;/* hardware address length  */

 

     unsigned long      trans_start;  /* Time (in jiffies) of last Tx  */

 

     unsigned long      last_rx;/* Time of last Rx*/

 

     int                watchdog_timeo;

 

     void               *priv;   /* pointer to private data  */

 

     struct module      *owner;  /* open/release and usage marking */

 

 

     int                    (*init)(struct net_device *dev);

 

     int                    (*open)(struct net_device *dev);

 

     int                    (*stop)(struct net_device *dev);

 

     int                    (*set_config)(struct net_device *dev, struct ifmap *map);

 

     int                    (*hard_start_xmit) (struct sk_buff *skb,struct net_device *dev);

 

     int                    (*set_mac_address)(struct net_device *dev,  void *addr);

 

     //..............

 

};

 

 

网卡实现的抽象接口

init(),open(),stop(),set_config() 方法在模板中已经清楚地介绍了,这里重点讲解hard_start_xmit()方法。当内核需要发送一个数据包时,他调用hard_start_xmit()方法将数据放到一个输出队列。数据包包含在一个套接字缓冲区结构体(struct sk_buff)变量中。对于驱动程序来说,sk_buff只是一个数据包,不用关心里面复杂的结构成员。

 

程序清单 0 3

static int test_tx(struct sk_buff * skb , struct net_device * dev)

 

{

 

int len;

 

 

netif_stop_queue(dev);    // 让内核暂停调用hard_start_xmit()方法

 

len = skb->len < ETH_ZLEN ? ETH_ZLEN :skb->len;

 

// len个数据写入网络设备硬件缓冲区并启动发送;

 

dev->trans_start = jiffies;   //记录时间

 

dev_kfree_skb(skb);

 

// 等待数据发送完毕

 

netif_wake_queue(dev);

 

 

return 0;

 

}

 

 

static int test_set_mac_address(struct net_device * dev, void *addr)

 

{

 

struct socketaddr   * mac_addr;

 

 

mac_addr = addr;

 

if(netif_running(dev))

 

{

 

    Return –EBUSY;

 

}

 

memcpy(dev->dev_addr , mac_addr->sa_data , dev->addr_len);

 

// 改变mac地址,与具体硬件相关。

 

return 0;

 

}

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

数据接收与中断服务程序

一般网络驱动程序不对发送数据进行缓存,而是直接使用硬件的发送功能把数据发送出去。接收数据则通过硬件中断来通知的。在中断处理程序中,把硬件帧信息填入一个 sk_buff 结构中,然后调用 netif_rx() 传递给上层处理。当然,在使用中断之前,需要向系统注册中断处理程序。

 

下面是中断服务程序的写法:

static void net_irq_handle(int irq, void * dev_id, struct pt_regs * regs)

 

{

 

struct net_device * dev;

 

struct sk_buff    *skb;

 

unsigned int     length;

 

u8            * dec;

 

 

dev = (struct net_device *)dev_id;

 

if( 发送成功 )

 

{

 

    清除发送中断标志;

 

   netif_wake_queue(dev);

 

}

 

if( 接收成功 )

 

{

 

    清除接受中断标志;

 

   length = 数据包长度;

 

    skb = dev_alloc_skb(length + 2);

 

    if(!skb)

 

{

 

    return;

 

}

 

    skb_reserve(skb, 2);

 

dec = skb->data;

 

// 把数据包( length 长度)读到 dec 指向的内存中;

 

skb->dev = dev;

 

skb->protocol = eth_type_trans(skb, dev);

 

skb->ip_summed = CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY;

 

netif_rx(skb);

 

dev->last_rx = jiffies;

 

}

 

 

if( 出错 )

 

   错误处理

 

 

清除中断源;

 

}

 

 

 

 

 

1.1.1           步骤四:分析 DM9000 的网卡驱动程序

驱动程序共包含三个文件 dm9000x.c dm9000.c dm9000.h ,都存放在 drivers/net/ 目录下,其中 dm9000x.c 主要包括以下函数:

 

底层硬件操作函数:这些函数与硬件相关,与驱动程序编写相关不大。  

void            outb(unsigned char value, unsigned long addr)

 

void            outw(unsigned short value, unsigned long addr)

 

unsigned char     inb(unsigned long addr)

 

unsigned short    inw(unsigned long addr)

 

 

u8 ior(board_info_t *db, int reg)   // Read a byte from I/O port

 

void iow(board_info_t *db, int reg, u8 value) //   Write a byte to I/O port

 

 

 

 

 

驱动程序的函数接口,

int init_module(void) // 加载设备驱动程序

 

void cleanup_module(void) // 卸载设备驱动程序

 

 

static void dmfe_init_dm9000(struct DEVICE *dev) /* Initilize DM910X board */

 

dmfe_probe(struct DEVICE *dev) // 初始化 net_device 结构体

 

static int dmfe_open(struct DEVICE *dev)

 

static int dmfe_stop(struct DEVICE *dev)

 

static int dmfe_start_xmit(struct sk_buff *skb, struct DEVICE *dev) // 发送一个数据包

 

static void dmfe_packet_receive(struct DEVICE *dev, board_info_t *db) // 接收数据包,被中断调用

 

 

 

 

 

其中 int init_module(void) 函数调用了 dmfe_probe(struct DEVICE *dev) 来初始化 net_device 结构体

if(strcmp(dev->name,"eth0")==0)

 

         if(strcmp(dev->name,"eth1")==0)

 

         if(strcmp(dev->name,"eth3")==0)

 

                  

 

         outb(DM9000_VID_L, iobase);

 

         id_val = inb(iobase + 4);

 

         outb(DM9000_VID_H, iobase);

 

         id_val |= inb(iobase + 4) << 8;

 

         outb(DM9000_PID_L, iobase);

 

         id_val |= inb(iobase + 4) << 16;

 

         outb(DM9000_PID_H, iobase);

 

         id_val |= inb(iobase + 4) << 24;

 

 

         if (id_val == DM9000_ID) {

 

             printk("HHTech DM9000 %s I/O: %x,VID: %x,MAC: ", dev->name,iobase, id_val);

 

             dm9000_count++;

 

             /* Init network device */

 

             dev = init_etherdev(dev, 0);

 

 

         /* Allocated board information structure */

 

       irqline = 3;

         db = (void *)(kmalloc(sizeof(*db), GFP_KERNEL|GFP_DMA));

 

         memset(db, 0, sizeof(*db));

 

         dev->priv = db;   /* link device and board info */

 

         db->next_dev = dmfe_root_dev;

 

         dmfe_root_dev = dev;

 

         db->ioaddr = iobase;

 

         db->io_data = iobase + 4;

 

 

         /* driver system function */

 

         dev->base_addr = iobase;

 

         //dev->irq = 68; //INT4 166;//irqline;

 

         dev->open = &dmfe_open;

 

         dev->hard_start_xmit = &dmfe_start_xmit;

 

         dev->stop = &dmfe_stop;

 

         dev->get_stats = &dmfe_get_stats;

 

         dev->set_multicast_list = &dm9000_hash_table;

 

         dev->do_ioctl = &dmfe_do_ioctl;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

dmfe_open(struct DEVICE *dev) 中,申请了中断处理程序,然后调用了

dmfe_init_dm9000(dev); 初始化 DM9000 芯片。

static int dmfe_open(struct DEVICE *dev)

 

{      

 

if(request_irq(dev->irq, &dmfe_interrupt,SA_INTERRUPT/*SA_SHIRQ*/,

 

"DM9000 device",dev))

 

                   return -EAGAIN;

 

/* Initilize DM910X board */

 

       dmfe_init_dm9000(dev);

 

 

netif_wake_queue(dev);         //add by simon 2001.9.4 for kernel 2.4

 

MOD_INC_USE_COUNT;

 

}

 

 

Stop() 方法停止网络驱动程序:

static int dmfe_stop(struct DEVICE *dev)

 

{

 

netif_stop_queue(dev);  //add by simon 2001.9.4 for kernel 2.4

 

 

         /* free interrupt */

 

         free_irq(dev->irq, dev);

 

 

         /* RESET devie */

 

         phy_write(db, 0x00, 0x8000);        /* PHY RESET */

 

         iow(db, 0x1f, 0x01);     /* Power-Down PHY */

 

         iow(db, 0xff, 0x80);      /* Disable all interrupt */

 

         iow(db, 0x05, 0x00);    /* Disable RX */

 

 

         MOD_DEC_USE_COUNT;

 

return 0;

 

}

 

 

 

发送数据接口,对照前面的简单的驱动框架。

static int dmfe_start_xmit(struct sk_buff *skb, struct DEVICE *dev)

 

{

 

netif_stop_queue(dev); //add by simon 2001.9.4 for kernel 2.4

 

 

         /* Disable all interrupt */

 

         iow(db, 0xff, 0x80);

 

 

         /* Move data to DM9000 TX RAM */

 

         data_ptr = (char *)skb->data;

 

         outb(0xf8, db->ioaddr);

 

         tmplen = (skb->len + 1) / 2;

 

         /* Word mode*/

 

         for (i = 0; i < tmplen; i++)

 

                      outw(((u16 *)data_ptr)[i], db->io_data);

 

        

 

         /* TX control: First packet immediately send, second packet queue */

 

         if (db->tx_pkt_cnt == 0) {

 

                   /* First Packet */

 

                   db->tx_pkt_cnt++;

 

 

                   /* Set TX length to DM9000 */

 

                   iow(db, 0xfc, skb->len & 0xff);

 

                   iow(db, 0xfd, (skb->len >> 8) & 0xff);

 

 

                   /* Issue TX polling command */

 

                   iow(db, 0x2, 0x1);        /* Cleared after TX complete */

 

 

                   dev->trans_start = jiffies;      /* saved the time stamp */

 

         } else {

 

                   /* Second packet */

 

                   db->tx_pkt_cnt++;

 

                   db->queue_pkt_len = skb->len;

 

         }

 

 

 

         /* free this SKB */

 

         dev_kfree_skb(skb);

 

 

       /* Re-enable resource check */

 

         if (db->tx_pkt_cnt == 1)

 

         netif_wake_queue(dev);   //add by simon 2001.9.4 for kernel 2.4

 

                  

 

         /* Re-enable interrupt mask */

 

         iow(db, 0xff, 0x83);

 

 

         return 0;

 

}

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

中断处理程序,用来接收数据

static void dmfe_interrupt(int irq, void *dev_id, struct pt_regs *regs)

 

{      

 

         db = (board_info_t *)dev->priv;

 

         spin_lock(&db->lock); // add by simon 2001.9.4 for kernel 2.4

 

 

         /* Save previous register address */

 

         reg_save = inb(db->ioaddr);

 

 

         /* Disable all interrupt */

 

         iow(db, 0xff, 0x80);

1.1.2           步骤五:调试运行 DM9000 网卡驱动程序

在内核的 DM9000 驱动代码中,直接增加调试和打印信息,然后重新编译内核,下载到开发板上,察看调试信息。内核中的打印输出语句用 printk()

把内核中的 DM9000 的网络驱动程序 /drivers/net/dm9000x.c 中的注释掉的 printk 语句打开。详细见 dm9000x.c 文件。

 

第一步,打印网络的配置信息,与 ifconfig 显示的信息比较。

1, /kernel/drivers/net/dm9000x.c 中,注释掉的 printk 有效。主要是在 dmfe_probe(struct DEVICE *dev) 函数中的打印信息 .

2, 然后再 /kernel 目录下编译内核, make zImage

3, 通过 TFTP 下载刚编译的内核镜像 zImage 到开发板中

tftp 30008000 zImage

tftp 30800000 ramdisk.image.gz

go 30008000

 

 

4 ,观察系统启动时有网络驱动程序打印出来的信息。进入系统后用 ifconfig 察看网络信息。

 

第二步:观察中断调用,数据接收的情况

1, /kernel/drivers/net/dm9000x.c 中,使宏定义有效

//#undef DM9000_DEBUG   

 

#define DM9000_DEBUG

 

主要是在

static void dmfe_interrupt(int irq, void *dev_id, struct pt_regs *regs)

 

static void dmfe_packet_receive(struct DEVICE *dev, board_info_t *db)

 

中的打印信息 , 注释掉的 printk 有效 .

2, 然后再 /kernel 目录下编译内核, make zImage

3, 通过 TFTP 下载刚编译的内核镜像 zImage 到开发板中

tftp 30008000 zImage

tftp 30800000 ramdisk.image.gz

go 30008000

4 ,观察系统启动时有网络驱动程序打印出来的信息。进入系统后挂载 NFS 系统(如果还没有挂载 NFS ),可以看到打印出网络中断和数据接收的信息。

 

第二步:用户层调用网络 socket 接口。

1,   因为操作系统封装了网络设备驱动程序,用户层只能通过 socket 接口使用网络。 HHARM2410-STUDY\modules.TestApp\ethernet-performance-test 提供了测试网络流量的测试程序,使用了 socket 接口。

2,   分别编译 HHARM2410-STUDY\modules.TestApp\ethernet-performance-test\run-on-board HHARM2410-STUDY\modules.TestApp\ethernet-performance-test\run-on-LINUX-PC

3 ,开发板用网线(对接线)同PC机相连;

 

PC 机上编译好eth-perf-pc/中的程序,生成server可执行程序,运行

 

./server

 

minicom下执行客户端程序(开发板上)

 

./client 192.168.2.111 –t 1 –p 1

 

其中192.168.2.111PC机的IP,-t表示time-p表示package

4 ,如果这时候没有注释掉网络驱动程序 dm9000 的中断和接收数据的打印信息,屏幕会频繁的提示产生中断和接收到数据。

还可以用

[localhost]# c at /prop/interrupts

 

察看中断使用情况,可以看到网络驱动程序使用中断号,和使用次数。
