一下是个人在学习uboot 是 阅读时的一点笔记
大多数bootloader都分为stage1和stage2两部分，u-boot也不例外。依赖于CPU体系结构的代码（如设备初始化代码等）通常都放在stage1且可以用汇编语言来实现，而stage2则通常用C语言来实现，这样可以实现复杂的功能，而且有更好的可读性和移植性。
1、Stage1 start.S代码结构
u-boot的stage1代码通常放在start.S文件中，他用汇编语言写成，其主要代码部分如下：
（1）定义入口。由于一个可执行的Image必须有一个入口点，并且只能有一个全局入口，通常这个入口放在ROM（Flash）的0x0地址，因此，必须通知编译器以使其知道这个入口，该工作可通过修改连接器脚本来完成。
（2）设置异常向量（Exception Vector）。
（3）设置CPU的速度、时钟频率及终端控制寄存器。
（4）初始化内存控制器。
（5）将ROM中的程序复制到RAM中。
（6）初始化堆栈。
（7）转到RAM中执行，该工作可使用指令ldr pc来完成。
2、Stage2 C语言代码部分
lib_arm/board.c中的start arm boot是C语言开始的函数也是整个启动代码中C语言的主函数，同时还是整个u-boot（armboot）的主函数，该函数只要完成如下操作：
（1）调用一系列的初始化函数。
（2）初始化Flash设备。
（3）初始化系统内存分配函数。
（4）如果目标系统拥有NAND设备，则初始化NAND设备。
（5）如果目标系统有显示设备，则初始化该类设备。
（6）初始化相关网络设备，填写IP、MAC地址等。
（7）进去命令循环（即整个boot的工作循环），接受用户从串口输入的命令，然后进行相应的工作。
