There are two classes of configuration variables:


* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
  These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
  "CONFIG_".


* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
  These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
  you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
  "CFG_".
  
 Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
such information is kept in a configuration file
"include/configs/<board_name>.h".




Versioning:
===========
Starting with the release in October 2008, the names of the releases
were changed from numerical release numbers without deeper meaning
into a time stamp based numbering. Regular releases are identified by
names consisting of the calendar year and month of the release date.
Additional fields (if present) indicate release candidates or bug fix
releases in "stable" maintenance trees.


Examples:
U-Boot v2009.11     - Release November 2009
U-Boot v2009.11.1   - Release 1 in version November 2009 stable tree
U-Boot v2010.09-rc1 - Release candiate 1 for September 2010 release


- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format



把编译结果定义为其他目录：
1. Add O= to the make command line invocations:


make O=/tmp/build distclean
make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
make O=/tmp/build all


2. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:


export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
make distclean
make NAME_config
make all

On ARM, the following registers are used:


R0: function argument word/integer result
R1-R3: function argument word
R9: GOT pointer
R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking if enabled)
R11: argument (frame) pointer
R12: temporary workspace
R13: stack pointer
R14: link register
R15: program counter


    ==> U-Boot will use R8 to hold a pointer to the global data




Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
in your code.
