OTA更新包路徑META-INF\com\google\android中,存在着兩個關鍵的檔案:update-script和update-binary。在這兩個腳本檔案中,update-script記載着系統更新所需要執行的指令(如圖1所示),而update-binary則是對于每條指令的解析。進入recovery模式後,系統将會執行檔案中記載的指令,完成更新。

由http://blog.csdn.net/liudekuan/article/details/8707044可知,在檔案./bootable/recovery/install.c中定義了對應于每條指令的執行函數(如圖2所示),即在recovery模式下
,系統會将這些指令轉換為相應的函數去執行。而RegisterInstallFunctions函數在./bootable/recovery/update.c中被調用,在源碼編譯過程中,./bootable/recovery/updater目錄下的代碼被編譯為可執行檔案:out/target/product/sp8825ea/system/bin/updater,供recovery模式下系統使用。

代碼段1 try_update_binary函數
./bootable/recovery/install.c中的try_update_binary函數,是真正實作讀取更新包中的腳本檔案并執行相應的函數的地方。在此函數中,通過調用fork函數建立出一個子程序(代碼第72行),在子程序中開始讀取并執行更新腳本檔案(代碼73-78)。在此需要注意的是函數fork的用法,fork被調用一次,将做兩次傳回,在父程序中傳回的是子程序的程序ID,為正數;而在子程序中,則傳回0。是以代碼73-78事實是子程序中所進行的操作,即execv(binary, args)。子程序建立成功後,開始執行更新代碼,并通過管道與父程序互動(代碼27-28,建立管道,并将pipefd[1]作為參數傳遞給子程序,子程序則将相關資訊寫入到此管道描述符中);而父程序則通過讀取子程序傳遞過來的資訊更新UI(代碼84-114)。
