SMEM介绍

SMEM ：shared memory，是高通平台各子系统共享信息的一种机制，通过SMEM机制，PBL可以将信息传递给SBL1，SBL1可以将信息传递给RPM、LK。下面分析一个SMEM信息传递的具体实现过程。

1 Platform id信息

SBL1会将board level platform id信息通过SMEM机制保存，LK在启动过程中会自动platform detect，检测当前平台board infor信息，根据检测到的board infor加载相应的device tree

SBL1:从emmc中读取platform id等CDT信息，并保存到约定的smem中

voidboot_config_data_table_init(bl_shared_data_type* bl_shared_data)

{

/*populate configuration data table's info*/

config_data_table_info.size =config_data_table_size;

config_data_table_info.cdt_ptr =config_data_table; //platform id & ddr default parameter

boot_update_config_data_table(&config_data_table_info);

/*put a pointer to the table info into sblshared data so next sbl can access it*/

bl_shared_data->sbl_shared_data->config_data_table_info =&config_data_table_info;

}

LK通过读取smem获取platform infor信息

static void platform_detect()

{

ret= smem_read_alloc_entry(SMEM_BOARD_INFO_LOCATION,

&board_info_v8,

board_info_len);

board.platform= board_info_v8.board_info_v3.msm_id;

board.platform_version= board_info_v8.board_info_v3.msm_version;

board.platform_hw= board_info_v8.board_info_v3.hw_platform;

board.platform_subtype= board_info_v8.platform_subtype;

}

同理，SBL1可通过SMEM将DDR default parameter传递给RPM，当然也可以将OEM定制信息通过SMEM保存，在启动阶段根据不同OEM信息进行相应的特制化。

2 如何在SBL1和LK间通过SMEM传递客制化信息

step1. Add a new enum (i.e SMEM_OEM_MAGIC_INFO = XXX)in smem_mem_type

step 2. After the boot_smem_init() is called, you use smem_alloc() to allocate the SMEM space for your data,i.e:

• smem_oem_magic_ptr = (uint32 *) smem_alloc( SMEM_OEM_MAGIC_INFO, sizeof(uint32));

step3. On lk side add a new enum (i.e SMEM_OEM_MAGIC_INFO =XXX) in smem_mem_type_t

step4. In lk code, you can usethe smem_read_alloc_entry() to read data which is passed from SBL1,i.e:

• smem_read_alloc_entry( SMEM_OEM_MAGIC_INFO,&apps_oem_magic_info, sizeof( uint32));
