通过前两篇文章的介绍，我们已经知道NBOOT用来引导EBOOT，继而EBOOT加载并引导WinCE操作系统(NK)。那么，WinCE6.0的启动过程又是怎样的呢？本文基于S3C2410的平台做一个详细的分析。需要说明的是，WinCE6.0的整个启动过程对于同一类型的MCU来说大同小异，如S3C2410和PXA270同属ARM平台的MCU，所以他们的启动过程是类似的，可以说唯一的不同就在OAL处，而WinCE操作系统的启动正是从OAL开始的。
OAL（OEM Adaptation Layer）即OEM适配层，它的主要作用是在移植WinCE到新的硬件平台时减少操作系统的修改，通俗的说就是为WinCE操作系统抹平MCU的差异，使其能很方便的在不同MCU上运行。所以，OAL包括了和系统硬件通讯的最底层代码。内核则通过OAL跟硬件进行交互。逻辑上，OAL是介于CE内核和设备硬件之间的一个代码层，是一个抽象的概念。物理上，OAL和其他一些库一起链接成可执行文件，在WinCE6.0中对应的文件是OAL.exe，这是OAL的客观存在。WinCE6.0中的OAL跟先前的OAL比，是有一些变化的，它从内核中分离出来成为OAL.exe，而内核则变成了Kernel.dll。这样做的好处是可以单独升级OAL。但整体的OAL结构并没有改变，OEM函数保持一致，OAL和Kernel的接口由共享结构NKGLOBAL实现。这一部分的具体内容下一篇再做介绍。下图所示为WinCE6.0的OAL设计。
在移植WinCE到新的硬件平台时，创建OAL是最复杂的任务之一。一般来说，最简单的方法是拷贝一个跟新的硬件平台类似的且成熟的OAL，然后根据硬件的不同进行修改，使其满足目标硬件的特定要求。这里不展开说明，回头再单独整理。
从EBOOT到OAL.exe的跳转是从OEMLaunch（）开始的，函数OEMLaunch（）中调用Launch（dwPhysLaunchAddr），它的实现代码如下：
Code
LEAF_ENTRY Launch
ldr r2, = PhysicalStart
ldr r3, = (VIR_RAM_START - PHY_RAM_START)
sub r2, r2, r3
mov r1, #0x0070 ; Disable MMU
mcr p15, 0, r1, c1, c0, 0
nop
mov pc, r2 ; Jump to PStart
nop
; MMU & caches now disabled.
PhysicalStart
mov r2, #0
mcr p15, 0, r2, c8, c7, 0 ; Flush the TLB
mov pc, r0 ; Jump to program we are launching.
函数Launch（）的参数为物理地址，因为在跳转之前已将MMU关闭。该地址可通过VIEWBIN来查看，如下图所示：
如何确定这个地址对应的是NK.bin中的哪一个文件呢，先前说是OAL.exe，证据何在。在PB6.0中增加了浏览NK.bin的功能，我们可以利用此功能查看NK.bin的详细情况，如下图所示：
从上图中可以看出0x80205394处对应的是NK.exe，而这里的NK.exe即为OAL.exe。
至此，我们已经知道EBOOT是如何跳转到OAL.exe中的了。接下来继续看OAL.exe的执行过程。
OAL的启动代码如下：
Code
LEAF_ENTRY StartUp
; Compute the OEMAddressTable's physical address and
; load it into r0. KernelStart expects r0 to contain
; the physical address of this table. The MMU isn't
; turned on until well into KernelStart.
add r0, pc, #g_oalAddressTable - (. + 8)
bl KernelStart
OAL的启动代码和EBOOT的启动代码经常复用，但为了代码的简洁，最好还是分开实现，而且在EBOOT中如果已经初始化了相关硬件，那么OAL的启动代码就可以省去那部分工作，可以很简练，如上面的代码所示。
可以看出，OAL的启动代码又调用了函数KernelStart()，而这个函数是在文件C:\WINCE600\PRIVATE\WINCEOS\COREOS\NK\LDR\ARM\armstart.s中实现的，代码如下：
Code
LEAF_ENTRY KernelStart

从上面的代码可以看出，KernelStart()通过OEMAddressTable初始化了MMU，然后通过调用函数ARMInit()获得kernel.dll的入口点，最后跳转到kernel.dll的入口点处。
为了找到Kernel.dll的入口点，用IDA反汇编kernel.dll文件，可以看到，Kernel.dll的入口点为NKStartup。
NKStartup()的实现在文件C:\WINCE600\PRIVATE\WINCEOS\COREOS\NK\KERNEL\ARM\ mdarm.c中，代码如下：
Code
//
// NKStartup - entry point of kernel.dll.
//
// NK Loader setup only the minimal mappings, which includes ARMHigh area, and the cached static mapping area,
// with *EVERYTHING UNCACHED*. Interrupt vectors are not setup either. So, the init sequence reqiures:
// (1) pickup data passed from nk loader
// (2) Find entry point of oal, exchange globals, find out the cache mode.
// (3) fill in the rest of static mapped area (0xa0000000 - 0xbfffffff), PSL faulting address, interrupt vectors,
// mod stacks, etc. Then, change the 'cached' static mapping area to use cache, and flush I&D TLB.
// (4) continue normal loading of kernel (find KITLdll, call OEMInitDebugSerial, etc.)
//
void NKStartup (struct KDataStruct * pKData)
{

/* get architecture id and update page protection attributes */
pKData->dwArchitectureId = (dwCpuId >> 16) & 0xf;

pKData->dwKrwUro = PG_V6_PROT_URO_KRW;
pKData->dwKrwUno = PG_V6_PROT_UNO_KRW;
} else {

NKStartup（）的代码就不多解释了，注释已经很详细。该函数的最后又调用了KernelStart ()函数。注意这里的KernelStart()跟上面曾提到的KernelStart()是不一样的。这里KernelStart()的实现在文件C:\WINCE600\PRIVATE\WINCEOS\COREOS\NK\KERNEL\ARM\armtrap.s中，代码和反汇编的对比如下图所示。
可以看到，这里调用了KernelInit()和FirstSchedule()这两个函数。先说FirstSchedule()，它开始了WinCE6.0的第一个调度。它的实现跟KernelStart()在同一文件中，而实现代码跟WinCE5.0中完全一样。接下来，我们继续跟踪KernelInit()函数，其实现在文件C:\WINCE600\PRIVATE\WINCEOS\COREOS\NK\KERNEL\nkinit.c中，代码如下：
Code
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// KernelInit - Kernel initialization before scheduling the 1st thread

void KernelInit (void)
{
#ifdef DEBUG
g_pNKGlobal->pfnWriteDebugString (TEXT("Windows CE KernelInit\r\n"));
#endif
APICallInit (); // setup API set
HeapInit (); // setup kernel heap
InitMemoryPool (); // setup physical memory

THRDInit (); // initialize threads
MapfileInit ();
#ifdef DEBUG
g_pNKGlobal->pfnWriteDebugString (TEXT("Scheduling the first thread.\r\n"));
#endif
}
这段代码跟WinCE5.0中的结构基本一致，但实际上有很大的不同。跟WinCE6.0启动最紧密的函数是THRDInit ()，这之前都是做相应的初始化。THRDInit ()的实现在文件C:\WINCE600\PRIVATE\WINCEOS\COREOS\NK\KERNEL\thread.c中，代码如下：

这里创建了一个内核线程，处理函数为RunApps，继续跟踪RunApps，其实现在文件C:\WINCE600\PRIVATE\WINCEOS\COREOS\NK\KERNEL\kmisc.c中，代码如下：
Code
DWORD WINAPI
RunApps(
LPVOID param
)
{
HMODULE hFilesys;
DEBUGMSG (ZONE_ENTRY, (L"RunApps started\r\n"));
CELOG_LaunchingFilesys();
hFilesys = (HMODULE) NKLoadLibraryEx (L"filesys.dll", MAKELONG (LOAD_LIBRARY_IN_KERNEL, LLIB_NO_PAGING), NULL);
if (hFilesys) {
FARPROC pfnMain = GetProcAddressA (hFilesys, (LPCSTR) 2); // WinMain of filesys
HANDLE hFSReady, hTh;
DEBUGCHK (pfnMain);
hFSReady = NKCreateEvent (NULL, TRUE, FALSE, TEXT("SYSTEM/FSReady"));
hTh = CreateKernelThread ((LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE)pfnMain, hFilesys, THREAD_RT_PRIORITY_NORMAL, 0);
DEBUGCHK (hTh && hFSReady);
HNDLCloseHandle (g_pprcNK, hTh);
// If pSignalStarted is NULL, we don't have filesys (tinykern). Don't bother waiting for it.
if (pSignalStarted) {
NKWaitForSingleObject (hFSReady, INFINITE);
DEBUGCHK (SystemAPISets[SH_FILESYS_APIS]);
// Initialize MUI-Resource loader (requires registry)
InitMUILanguages();
// Read system settings from registry
InitSystemSettings ();
// signal filesys that we're done
(* pSignalStarted) (0);
}
HNDLCloseHandle (g_pprcNK, hFSReady);
} else {
RETAILMSG (1, (L"Filesys doesn't exist, no app started\r\n"));
}
// instead of exiting, we're make this thread cleaning dirty pages in the background.
CleanPagesInTheBackground ();
// should've never returned
DEBUGCHK (0);
NKExitThread (0);
return 0;
}
终于启动filesys.dll了。这个过程简单说明一下，启动filesys.dll后等待其执行的情况，在完成了文件系统的相应的初始化之后，这里继续初始化MUI和系统设置，完成后再通知filesys这边的工作已经完成，filesys继续启动。这一部分的具体内容请参考MSDN，File System Boot Process：http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa912276.aspx。总之，filesys会完成WinCE的最后启动过程，包括gwes.dll和explorer.exe等。至此，WinCE6.0启动完成，如果有LCD且驱动能正常工作，现在就应该能看见可爱的WinCE6.0的界面了。
呵，没想到WinCE6.0的启动过程竟然这么繁长。不过，弄清楚这个启动流程对于移植BSP相当有好处。总结一下整个过程，如下图所示。
本文通过跟踪代码的方式，介绍了WinCE6.0的启动流程。流于表面了一点，很多细节应该进一步研究，以后再慢慢看吧。文中有不确切的地方，也请您不吝赐教.
