Follow: http://glennastory.net/boot/sysinit.html This is first script that init runs is rc.sysinit. This script does serval initialization tasks about basic service. The boot sequence currently provided to the board level is: board_earlyinitialize-> board_lateinitialize(Peripherals driver, core driver, ...)-> run rcS script(mount fs, run service) -> board_appinitialize-> After this patch: The boot sequence currently provided to the board level is: board_earlyinitialize-> board_lateinitialize(core driver,...)-> run rc.sysinit script(mount fs, run core service) -> board_appinitialize(Peripherals driver)-> run rcS script(run other service)-> So, Peripheral drivers can do more with the file system and core services.

Overview
|
|
********
|
|
|
|
**The NSH Library**. The ``apps/nshlib`` sub-directory contains the
|
|
NuttShell (NSH) library. This library can easily to linked to
|
|
produce a NSH application (See as an example
|
|
``apps/examples/nsh``). The NSH Library provides a simple shell
|
|
application for NuttX.
|
|
|
|
Console/NSH Front End
|
|
*********************
|
|
|
|
**NSH Consoles**. Using settings in the configuration file, NSH may be
|
|
configured to use (1) the serial stdin/out, (2) a USB serial
|
|
device (such as CDC/ACM), or (3) a telnet connection as the
|
|
console. Or, perhaps even all at once since or BOTH. An indefinite
|
|
number of telnet sessions are supported.
|
|
|
|
**Start-Up prompt**. When NSH is started, you will see the a welcome
|
|
message such the following on the selected console:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
NuttShell (NSH)
|
|
nsh>
|
|
|
|
The greeting may also include NuttX versioning information if you
|
|
are using a versioned copy of NuttX. ``nsh>`` is the NSH prompt
|
|
and indicates that you may enter a command from the console.
|
|
|
|
**USB console startup**. When using a USB console, the start-up
|
|
sequence differs a little: In this case, you are required to press
|
|
*ENTER* three times. Then NSH prompt will appear as described
|
|
above. This is required for the following reasons:
|
|
|
|
#. This assures that the USB connection is stable. The USB
|
|
connection may be made, broken, and re-established a few times
|
|
if the USB cable is not yet fully seated. Waiting for *ENTER*
|
|
to be pressed three times assures that the connection is
|
|
stable.
|
|
#. The establishment of the connection is two step process: First,
|
|
the USB serial connection is made with the host PC. Then the
|
|
application that uses the serial interface is started on the
|
|
host. When the serial connection is established on the host,
|
|
the host operating system may send several *AT* modem commands
|
|
to the host depending upon how the host serial port is
|
|
configured. By waiting for *ENTER* to be pressed three
|
|
consecutive times, all of these modem commands will go to the
|
|
bit-bucket and will not be interpreted as NSH command input.
|
|
#. Similarly, in the second step when the applications is started,
|
|
there may be additional *AT* modem commands sent out the serial
|
|
port. Most serial terminal programs will do this unless they
|
|
are specifically configured to suppress the modem command
|
|
output. Waiting for the *ENTER* input eliminates the invalid
|
|
command errors from both (2) and (3).
|
|
#. Finally, if NSH did not wait for some positive indication that
|
|
the serial terminal program is up and running, then the output
|
|
of the NSH greeting and initial NSH prompt would be lost.
|
|
|
|
**Extended Command Line Editing**. By default, NuttX uses a simple
|
|
command line editor that allows command entry after the ``nsh>``
|
|
and supports only the *backspace* key for editing. However, a more
|
|
complete command line editor can be selected by setting
|
|
``CONFIG_NSH_CLE=y`` in the NuttX configuration file. When that
|
|
option is selected, the following EMACS-like line editing commands
|
|
are supported:
|
|
|
|
===================== ================================================
|
|
Key Binding Editor Action
|
|
===================== ================================================
|
|
``^A`` Move cursor to start of the line
|
|
``^B`` Move left one character
|
|
``^D`` or *Del* Delete a single character at the cursor position
|
|
``^E`` Move cursor to end of current line
|
|
``^F`` Move right one character
|
|
``^H`` or *Backspace* Delete character, left (backspace)
|
|
``^K`` Delete to the end of the line
|
|
``^U`` Delete the entire line
|
|
===================== ================================================
|
|
|
|
Command Overview
|
|
****************
|
|
|
|
**Simple, Re-directed, and Background Commands**. The NuttShell
|
|
(NSH) is a simple shell application. NSH supports the following
|
|
commands forms:
|
|
|
|
=============================== ======================================
|
|
Simple command ``<cmd>``
|
|
Command with re-directed output ``<cmd> > <file> <cmd> >> <file>``
|
|
Background command ``<cmd> &``
|
|
Re-directed background command ``<cmd> > <file> & <cmd> >> <file> &``
|
|
=============================== ======================================
|
|
|
|
Where:
|
|
|
|
* ``<cmd>`` is any one of the simple commands listed later.
|
|
* ``<file>`` is the full or relative path to any writable object in the file system name space (file or character driver). Such objects will be referred to simply as files throughout this document.
|
|
|
|
``nice`` **'d Background Commands**. NSH executes at the
|
|
mid-priority (128). Backgrounded commands can be made to execute
|
|
at higher or lower priorities using ``nice``::
|
|
|
|
[nice [-d <niceness>>]] <cmd> [> <file>|>> <file>] [&]
|
|
|
|
Where ``<niceness>`` is any value between -20 and 19 where lower
|
|
(more negative values) correspond to higher priorities. The
|
|
default niceness is 10.
|
|
|
|
**Multiple commands per line**. NSH will accept multiple commands
|
|
per command line with each command separated with the semi-colon
|
|
character (;).
|
|
|
|
**Optional Syntax Extensions** Because these features commit
|
|
significant resources, they are disabled by default.
|
|
|
|
- ``CONFIG_NSH_CMDPARMS``: If selected, then the output from
|
|
commands, from file applications, and from NSH built-in
|
|
commands can be used as arguments to other commands. The entity
|
|
to be executed is identified by enclosing the command line in
|
|
back quotes. For example,
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
set FOO myprogram $BAR
|
|
|
|
Will execute the program named ``myprogram`` passing it the
|
|
value of the environment variable ``BAR``. The value of the
|
|
environment variable ``FOO`` is then set output of
|
|
``myprogram`` on ``stdout``.
|
|
|
|
- ``CONFIG_NSH_ARGCAT``: Support concatenation of strings
|
|
with environment variables or command output. For example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
set FOO XYZ
|
|
set BAR 123
|
|
set FOOBAR ABC_${FOO}_${BAR}
|
|
|
|
would set the environment variable ``FOO`` to ``XYZ``, ``BAR``
|
|
to ``123`` and ``FOOBAR`` to ``ABC_XYZ_123``. If
|
|
``CONFIG_NSH_ARGCAT`` is not selected, then a slightly smaller
|
|
FLASH footprint results but then also only simple environment
|
|
variables like ``$FOO`` can be used on the command line.
|
|
|
|
- ``CONFIG_NSH_QUOTE``: Enables back-slash quoting of certain
|
|
characters within the command. This option is useful for the
|
|
case where an NSH script is used to dynamically generate a new
|
|
NSH script. In that case, commands must be treated as simple
|
|
text strings without interpretation of any special characters.
|
|
Special characters such as ``$``, :literal:`\``, ``"``, and
|
|
others must be retained intact as part of the test string. This
|
|
option is currently only available is ``CONFIG_NSH_ARGCAT`` is
|
|
also selected.
|
|
|
|
Conditional Command Execution
|
|
*****************************
|
|
|
|
An ``if-then[-else]-fi`` construct is also supported in order to
|
|
support conditional execution of commands. This works from the
|
|
command line but is primarily intended for use within NSH scripts
|
|
(see the ```sh`` <#cmdsh>`__ command). The syntax is as follows:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
if [!] <cmd>
|
|
then
|
|
[sequence of <cmd>]
|
|
else
|
|
[sequence of <cmd>]
|
|
fi
|
|
|
|
Where ``<cmd>`` is a `simple command <#cmdoverview>`__. The
|
|
command success value of zero is treated true; a non-zero command
|
|
failure value is treated false. The ```test`` <#cmdtest>`__
|
|
command is frequently used for comparisons.
|
|
|
|
Looping
|
|
*******
|
|
|
|
**Looping Constructs**. ``while-do-done`` and ``until-do-done``
|
|
looping constructs are also supported. These work from the command
|
|
line but are primarily intended for use within NSH scripts (see
|
|
the ```sh`` <#cmdsh>`__ command).
|
|
|
|
- ``while-do-done``: Execute ``[sequence of <cmd>]`` as long
|
|
as ``<cmd>`` has an exit status of zero. The syntax is as
|
|
follows:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
while <cmd>
|
|
do
|
|
[sequence of <cmd>]
|
|
done
|
|
|
|
- ``until-do-done``: Execute ``[sequence of <cmd>]`` as long
|
|
as ``<cmd>`` has a non-zero exit status. The syntax is as
|
|
follows:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
until <cmd>
|
|
do
|
|
[sequence of <cmd>]
|
|
done
|
|
|
|
Where ``<cmd>`` is a `simple command <#cmdoverview>`__. The
|
|
command success value of zero is treated true; a non-zero command
|
|
failure value is treated false. The ```test`` <#cmdtest>`__
|
|
command is frequently used for comparisons.
|
|
|
|
**The** ``break`` **Command**. A ``break`` command is also supported.
|
|
The ``break`` command is only meaningful within the body of the a
|
|
``while`` or ``until`` loop, between the ``do`` and ``done`` tokens.
|
|
If the ``break`` command is executed within the body of a loop,
|
|
the loop will immediately terminate and execution will continue
|
|
with the next command immediately following the ``done`` token.
|
|
|
|
Built-In Variables
|
|
******************
|
|
|
|
====== ====================================================
|
|
``$?`` The result of the last simple command execution. |br|
|
|
On backgrounded commands, this variable holds only |br|
|
|
the result of spawning the background command.
|
|
====== ====================================================
|
|
|
|
Current Working Directory
|
|
*************************
|
|
|
|
``cd`` **and** ``pwd``. All path arguments to commands may be
|
|
either an absolute path or a path relative to the current working
|
|
directory. The current working directory is set using the
|
|
``cd`` command and can be queried either by using the
|
|
``pwd`` command or by using the ``echo $PWD`` command.
|
|
|
|
Environment Variables
|
|
*********************
|
|
|
|
========== ================================================
|
|
``PATH`` The default path in the file systems to look |br|
|
|
for executable, binary programs working directory
|
|
``PWD`` The current working directory
|
|
``OLDPWD`` The previous working directory
|
|

NSH Start-Up Script
|
|
*******************
|
|
|
|
**NSH Start-Up Script**. NSH supports options to provide a start
|
|
up script for NSH. In general this capability is enabled with
|
|
``CONFIG_NSH_ROMFSETC``, but has several other related
|
|
configuration options as described with the `NSH-specific
|
|
configuration settings <#nshconfiguration>`__. This capability
|
|
also depends on:
|
|
|
|
- ``CONFIG_DISABLE_MOUNTPOINT`` not set
|
|
- ``CONFIG_FS_ROMFS`` enabled
|
|
|
|
**Default Start-Up Behavior**. The implementation that is provided
|
|
is intended to provide great flexibility for the use of Start-Up
|
|
files. This paragraph will discuss the general behavior when all
|
|
of the configuration options are set to the default values.
|
|
|
|
In this default case, enabling ``CONFIG_NSH_ROMFSETC`` will cause
|
|
NSH to behave as follows at NSH startup time:
|
|
|
|
- NSH will create a read-only RAM disk (a ROM disk), containing a
|
|
tiny ROMFS file system containing the following::
|
|
|
|
`--init.d/
|
|
`-- rcS
|
|
`-- rc.sysinit
|
|
|
|
Where rcS is the NSH start-up script.
|
|
Where rc.sysinit is the NSH system init script.
|
|
|
|
- NSH will then mount the ROMFS file system at ``/etc``,
|
|
resulting in::
|
|
|
|
|--dev/
|
|
| `-- ram0
|
|
`--etc/
|
|
`--init.d/
|
|
`-- rcS
|
|
`-- rc.sysinit
|
|
|
|
- By default, the contents of rc.sysinit script are::
|
|
|
|
# Create a RAMDISK and mount it at XXXRDMOUNTPOINTXXX
|
|
|
|
mkrd -m 1 -s 512 1024
|
|
mkfatfs /dev/ram1
|
|
mount -t vfat /dev/ram1 /tmp
|
|
|
|
- NSH will execute the script at ``/etc/init.d/rc.sysinit`` at
|
|
system init script(before the first NSH prompt). After
|
|
execution of the script, the root FS will look like::
|
|
|
|
|--dev/
|
|
| |-- ram0
|
|
| `-- ram1
|
|
|--etc/
|
|
| `--init.d/
|
|
| `-- rcS
|
|
| `-- rc.sysinit
|
|
`--tmp/
|
|
|
|
**Modifying the ROMFS Image**. The contents of the ``/etc``
|
|
directory are retained in the file ``apps/nshlib/nsh_romfsimg.h``
|
|
OR, if ``CONFIG_NSH_ARCHROMFS`` is defined,
|
|
``include/arch/board/rcs.template``). In order to modify the
|
|
start-up behavior, there are three things to study:
|
|
|
|
#. **Configuration Options.** The additional
|
|
``CONFIG_NSH_ROMFSETC`` configuration options discussed with
|
|
the other `NSH-specific configuration
|
|
settings <#nshconfiguration>`__.
|
|
#. `tools/mkromfsimg.sh`` **Script**. The script
|
|
``tools/mkromfsimg.sh`` creates ``nsh_romfsimg.h``. It is not
|
|
automatically executed. If you want to change the configuration
|
|
settings associated with creating and mounting the ``/tmp``
|
|
directory, then it will be necessary to re-generate this header
|
|
file using the ``tools/mkromfsimg.sh`` script.
|
|
|
|
The behavior of this script depends upon three things:
|
|
|
|
- The configuration settings then installed configuration.
|
|
- The ``genromfs`` tool (available from
|
|
http://romfs.sourceforge.net).
|
|
- The file ``apps/nshlib/rc.sysinit.template`` (OR, if
|
|
``CONFIG_NSH_ARCHROMFS`` is defined
|
|
``include/arch/board/rc.sysinit.template``.
|
|
The file ``apps/nshlib/rcS.template`` (OR, if
|
|
``CONFIG_NSH_ARCHROMFS`` is defined
|
|
``include/arch/board/rcs.template``.
|
|
|
|
#. ``rc.sysinit.template``: The file ``apps/nshlib/rc.sysinit.template``
|
|
contains the general form of the ``rc.sysinit`` file; configured
|
|
values are plugged into this template file to produce the final
|
|
``rc.sysinit`` file.
|
|
|
|
``rcS.template``: The file ``apps/nshlib/rcS.template``
|
|
contains the general form of the ``rcS`` file; configured
|
|
values are plugged into this template file to produce the final
|
|
``rcS`` file.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
``apps/nshlib/rcS.template`` and ``apps/nshlib/rc.sysinit.template``
|
|
generates the standard, default ``nsh_romfsimg.h`` file.
|
|
If ``CONFIG_NSH_ARCHROMFS`` is defined in the NuttX configuration
|
|
file, then a custom, board-specific ``nsh_romfsimg.h`` file residing
|
|
in the ``boards/<arch>/<chip>/<board>/include`` directory will be
|
|
used. NOTE when the OS is configured, ``include/arch/board`` will be
|
|
linked to ``boards/<arch>/<chip>/<board>/include``.
|
|
|
|
All of the startup-behavior is contained in ``rc.sysinit.template``
|
|
and ``rcS.template``. The role of ``mkromfsimg.sh`` is to (1) apply
|
|
the specific configuration settings to ``rc.sysinit.template`` to create
|
|
the final ``rc.sysinit``, and ``rc.sysinit.template`` to create the final
|
|
``rcS`` and (2) to generate the header file ``nsh_romfsimg.h``
|
|
containing the ROMFS file system image.
|
|
|
|

|
|
NuttShell <#customizingnsh>`__ for additional, more detailed
|
|
information about the NSH start-up script and how to modify it.
