u-boot分为两个阶段stage1和stage2，stage1只负责一些与特定CPU体系结构有关的代码，完成简单的初始化工作，使用汇编语言实现。stage2使用C语言实现以完成更多功能。stage1执行完之后会跳转到stage2执行。本文只做启动过程分析，不对代码实现做详细分析，具体u-boot第一阶段如何实现初始化工作、代码搬运以及第二阶段如何实现命令处理、系统启动等等的功能以后有机会再分析。
首先来看一下u-boot的链接脚本文件，简单来说 链接脚本文件就是控制所有（通过编译程序源文件生成的）“.o”文件排布组合成想要的可执行文件。链接脚本文件中指定好了什么地址存放什么文件，编译完成之后使用“ld”链接工具根据链接脚本文件将所有“.o”文件都组合起来生成目标文件。下面是Hi3519的链接脚本文件u-boot.lds：
OUTPUT_FORMAT("elf32-littlearm", "elf32-littlearm", "elf32-littlearm")
OUTPUT_ARCH(arm)
ENTRY(_start)
SECTIONS
{
. = 0x00000000; 把定位器符号置为0x00000000
. = ALIGN(4); 4字节对齐
.text :
{
__text_start = .;
arch/arm/cpu/hi3519v101/start.o (.text)
drivers/ddr/ddr_training_impl.o (.text)
drivers/ddr/ddr_training_ctl.o (.text)
drivers/ddr/ddr_training_boot.o (.text)
drivers/ddr/ddr_training_custom.o (.text)
__init_end = .;
ASSERT(((__init_end - __text_start) < 0x16000), "init sections too big!");
*(.text)
}
. = ALIGN(4);
.rodata : { *(SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT(SORT_BY_NAME(.rodata*))) }
. = ALIGN(4);
.data : { *(.data) }
. = ALIGN(4);
.got : { *(.got) }
__u_boot_cmd_start = .;
.u_boot_cmd : { *(.u_boot_cmd) }
__u_boot_cmd_end = .;
. = ALIGN(4);
__bss_start = .;
.bss : { *(.bss) }
_end = .;
}详细的lds文件语法不多做介绍，因为我也不会，但是可以明显看出来几点：
①、程序从0x00000000处开始执行
②、arch/arm/cpu/hi3519v101/start.o放在了输出文件的最开始部分，start.o由start.S编译得到，所以其为start.S最开始运行的代码。
③、start.o之后还有很多ddr相关的文件被链接进来，应该是DRAM初始化部分的程序。
从上面得到的最关键的信息是start.S为最先执行的程序文件，那么下面分析一下start.S的汇编程序，做了一些简单的注释：

......
简单看完start.S文件中的程序之后可以发现start.S就是uboot的stage1阶段，主要完成了一些CPU相关的初始化包括时钟系统、DDR控制器、串调试口等，同时将代码从emmc或者flash中搬运到DDR RAM中，最后完成向start_armboot函数的跳转，进入到stage2阶段运行。
在stage1汇编代码中调用stage2的入口函数start_armboot进入第二阶段，这个阶段的程序使用C语言实现，start_armboot函数在arch\arm\lib\board.c文件中：
void start_armboot (void)
{
init_fnc_t **init_fnc_ptr;
char *s;
#ifdef CONFIG_HAS_SLAVE
char *e;
#endif
#if defined(CONFIG_VFD) || defined(CONFIG_LCD)
unsigned long addr;
#endif
/* Pointer is writable since we allocated a register for it */
gd = (gd_t*)(_armboot_start - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN - sizeof(gd_t));
/* compiler optimization barrier needed for GCC >= 3.4 */
__asm__ __volatile__("": : :"memory");
memset ((void*)gd, 0, sizeof (gd_t));
gd->bd = (bd_t*)((char*)gd - sizeof(bd_t));
memset (gd->bd, 0, sizeof (bd_t));
gd->flags |= GD_FLG_RELOC;
monitor_flash_len = _bss_start - _armboot_start;
for (init_fnc_ptr = init_sequence; *init_fnc_ptr; ++init_fnc_ptr) {
if ((*init_fnc_ptr)() != 0) {
hang ();
}
}
......
/* main_loop() can return to retry autoboot, if so just run it again. */
for (;;) {
main_loop ();
}
/* NOTREACHED - no way out of command loop except booting */
}这个函数很长很长，中间的我不予理睬，前面有一段代码：
for (init_fnc_ptr = init_sequence; *init_fnc_ptr; ++init_fnc_ptr) {
if ((*init_fnc_ptr)() != 0) {
hang ();
}
}这个是调用一个函数指针数组init_sequence中的所有函数，这个写函数都是初始化函数，在同文件前面有定义：
init_fnc_t *init_sequence[] = {
#if defined(CONFIG_ARCH_CPU_INIT)
arch_cpu_init, /* basic arch cpu dependent setup */
#endif
timer_init, /* initialize timer before usb init */
board_init, /* basic board dependent setup */
#if defined(CONFIG_USE_IRQ)
interrupt_init, /* set up exceptions */
#endif
// timer_init, /* initialize timer */
#ifdef CONFIG_FSL_ESDHC
get_clocks,
#endif
env_init, /* initialize environment */
init_baudrate, /* initialze baudrate settings */
serial_init, /* serial communications setup */
console_init_f, /* stage 1 init of console */
display_banner, /* say that we are here */
#if defined(CONFIG_DISPLAY_CPUINFO)
print_cpuinfo, /* display cpu info (and speed) */
#endif
#if defined(CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO)
checkboard, /* display board info */
#endif
#if defined(CONFIG_HARD_I2C) || defined(CONFIG_SOFT_I2C)
init_func_i2c,
#endif
dram_init, /* configure available RAM banks */
#if defined(CONFIG_CMD_PCI) || defined (CONFIG_PCI)
arm_pci_init,
#endif
/* display_dram_config */
NULL,
};都是将初始化函数填到数组中，这样的做法是为了方便自己进行代码修改，执行自己需要的初始化函数。start_armboot 函数的最后面的死循环调用main_loop也是很重要的线索，这个main_loop 函数就是u-boot第二阶段的主循环，定义在common/main.c文件中，这个函数也是很长很长，主要就是实现u-boot的命令行的功能以及实现延时自动boot功能等。
void main_loop (void)
{
#ifndef CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
static char lastcommand[CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE] = { 0, };
int len;
#ifdef CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
int rc = 1;
#endif
int flag;
#endif
#if defined(CONFIG_BOOTDELAY) && (CONFIG_BOOTDELAY >= 0)
char *s;
int bootdelay;
#endif
#ifdef CONFIG_PREBOOT
char *p;
#endif
#ifdef CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
unsigned long bootcount = 0;
unsigned long bootlimit = 0;
char *bcs;
char bcs_set[16];
#endif /* CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT */
#if defined(CONFIG_VFD) && defined(VFD_TEST_LOGO)
ulong bmp = 0; /* default bitmap */
extern int trab_vfd (ulong bitmap);
#ifdef CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT
if (do_mdm_init)
bmp = 1; /* alternate bitmap */
#endif
trab_vfd (bmp);
#endif /* CONFIG_VFD && VFD_TEST_LOGO */
#ifdef CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
bootcount = bootcount_load();
bootcount++;
bootcount_store (bootcount);
sprintf (bcs_set, "%lu", bootcount);
setenv ("bootcount", bcs_set);
bcs = getenv ("bootlimit");
bootlimit = bcs ? simple_strtoul (bcs, NULL, 10) : 0;
#endif /* CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT */
......好，至此u-boot以及启动到了该去的主循环中，接下来可以进行linux内核的启动工作或者接收来自用户的命令并处理这些命令，引用网上一张图片来大致解释一下u-boot的执行过程：
