要想知道一个程序的作用，最好的办法是分析程序的源代码。这一方法对了解u-boot的功能也适用，因此，我们首先看u-boot的源码结构，然后根据源码结构总结出u-boot的主要特性。最后，根据配置、编译的过程，简单分析u-boot。

（一）

以u-boot-1.1.6为例分析目录结构如下：

1、平台相关的或开发板相关的目录：board、cpu、lib_i386类似

2、通用函数的目录：include、lib_generic、common

3、通用的设备驱动程序：disk、drivers、dtt、fs、nand_spl、net、post、rtc

4、u-boot工具、示例程序、文档：doc、example、tools

u-boot顶层目录说明

u-boot中各目录间也是层次结构的，这有助于在移植过程中为我们需要修改哪些文件提供信息，由下图可以知道，只需修改board、cpu、lib_xxx目录下的文件，即可完成移植过程，如果想要添加其他的命令等，则需要修改其他文件。

100ask24x0_config	:	unconfig
	@$(MKCONFIG) $(@:_config=) arm arm920t 100ask24x0 NULL s3c24x0

100ask24x0_config	:	unconfig
	mkconfig 100ask24x0 arm arm920t 100ask24x0 NULL s3c24x0

#!/bin/sh -e

# Script to create header files and links to configure
# U-Boot for a specific board.

#

APPEND=no	# Default: Create new config file
BOARD_NAME=""	# Name to print in make output

mkconfig 100ask24x0 arm arm920t smdk2410 NULL s3c24x0
  $0         $1      $2   $3       $4     $5    $6

while [ $# -gt 0 ] ; do  <span style="color:#ff6666;">/*$ # ：保存程序命令行参数的数目*/</span>
	case "$1" in
	--) shift ; break ;;
	-a) shift ; APPEND=yes ;;
	-n) shift ; BOARD_NAME="${1%%_config}" ; shift ;;
	*)  break ;;
	esac
done

[ "${BOARD_NAME}" ] || BOARD_NAME="$1"  <span style="color:#ff6666;">/*因为上面定义了BOARD_NAME="",所以该句得到结果为BOARD_NAME=100ask24x0*/
</span>
[ $# -lt 4 ] && exit 1
[ $# -gt 6 ] && exit 1  <span style="color:#ff6666;">/*$#是参数的个数，此处$#=6，所以这两句都不会执行到exit 1语句*/</span>

echo "Configuring for ${BOARD_NAME} board..."
<span style="color:#ff6666;">/*此句便是执行make 100ask24x0_config时显示的那条语句：Configuring for 100ask24x0 board...*/</span>
#
# Create link to architecture specific headers
#
<span style="color:#ff6666;">/*查看Makefile可知，
 *OBJTREE		:= $(if $(BUILD_DIR),$(BUILD_DIR),$(CURDIR))
 *SRCTREE		:= $(CURDIR)
 *所以if语句不执行，而是执行下面的else语句
 */</span>
if [ "$SRCTREE" != "$OBJTREE" ] ; then 
	mkdir -p ${OBJTREE}/include
	mkdir -p ${OBJTREE}/include2
	cd ${OBJTREE}/include2
	rm -f asm
	ln -s ${SRCTREE}/include/asm-$2 asm
	LNPREFIX="../../include2/asm/"
	cd ../include
	rm -rf asm-$2
	rm -f asm
	mkdir asm-$2
	ln -s asm-$2 asm
else
	cd ./include
	rm -f asm
	ln -s asm-$2 asm <span style="color:#ff6666;">/*删除asm文件，然后再次建立asm文件，并令它链接向asm-$2目录，即asm-arm目录*/</span>
fi

rm -f asm-$2/arch  <span style="color:#ff6666;">/*删除asm-$2/arch文件，即asm-arm/arch文件*/</span>

if [ -z "$6" -o "$6" = "NULL" ] ; then  <span style="color:#ff6666;">/* -z string表示string为null $6也不是NULL，因此执行else分支*/</span>
	ln -s ${LNPREFIX}arch-$3 asm-$2/arch
else
	ln -s ${LNPREFIX}arch-$6 asm-$2/arch  <span style="color:#ff6666;">/*因为LNPREFIX为空，该句为ln -s arch-s3c24x0 asm-arm/arch*/</span>
fi

if [ "$2" = "arm" ] ; then
	rm -f asm-$2/proc
	ln -s ${LNPREFIX}proc-armv asm-$2/proc <span style="color:#ff6666;">/*重新建立asm-arm/proc文件，并让它链接向proc-armv目录*/</span>
fi

#

#
<span style="color:#ff6666;">/*
 *创建config.mk文件

 */</span>
echo "ARCH   = $2" >  config.mk 
echo "CPU    = $3" >> config.mk
echo "BOARD  = $4" >> config.mk

[ "$5" ] && [ "$5" != "NULL" ] && echo "VENDOR = $5" >> config.mk

[ "$6" ] && [ "$6" != "NULL" ] && echo "SOC    = $6" >> config.mk

#

if [ "$APPEND" = "yes" ]	# Append to existing config file
then
	echo >> config.h
else
	> config.h		# Create new config file
fi
echo "/* Automatically generated - do not edit */" >>config.h
echo "#include <configs/$1.h>" >>config.h

exit 0

1、开发板名称BOARD_NAME等于$1

2、创建到平台/开发板相关的头文件的链接，如下所示

	ln -s asm-$2 asm
	ln -s arch-$6 asm-$2/arch
	ln -s proc-armv asm-$2/proc

4、创建开发板相关的头文件include/config.h

（三）编译、链接

既然在编译之前必须经过上面的配置过程，那么配置过程一定为编译过程提供了某些东西，否则的话，我们直接编译就可以了。那么，上面配置过程生成的文件、修改的地方是如何在编译过程中体现的呢。其实，这在Makefile文件中有所体现。如：

include $(OBJTREE)/include/config.mk  <span style="color:#ff6666;">//包含了配置过程中宏生成的include/config.mk文件</span>
export	ARCH CPU BOARD VENDOR SOC
include $(TOPDIR)/config.mk  <span style="color:#ff6666;">//包含了配置过程中生成的顶层的config.mk文件</span>

配置完成后，执行make命令即可链接。执行make，我们执行的是Makefile里的make all语句，它的命令如下：

ALL = $(obj)u-boot.srec $(obj)u-boot.bin $(obj)System.map $(U_BOOT_NAND)

all:		$(ALL)

$(obj)u-boot.hex:	$(obj)u-boot
		$(OBJCOPY) ${OBJCFLAGS} -O ihex $< $@

$(obj)u-boot.srec:	$(obj)u-boot
		$(OBJCOPY) ${OBJCFLAGS} -O srec $< $@

$(obj)u-boot.bin:	$(obj)u-boot
		$(OBJCOPY) ${OBJCFLAGS} -O binary $< $@

$(obj)u-boot.img:	$(obj)u-boot.bin
		./tools/mkimage -A $(ARCH) -T firmware -C none 		-a $(TEXT_BASE) -e 0 		-n $(shell sed -n -e 's/.*U_BOOT_VERSION//p' $(VERSION_FILE) | 			sed -e 's/"[	 ]*$$/ for $(BOARD) board"/') 		-d $< $@

$(obj)u-boot.dis:	$(obj)u-boot
		$(OBJDUMP) -d $< > $@

$(obj)u-boot:		depend version $(SUBDIRS) $(OBJS) $(LIBS) $(LDSCRIPT)
		<span style="color:#ff6666;">UNDEF_SYM=`$(OBJDUMP) -x $(LIBS) |sed  -n -e 's/.*\(__u_boot_cmd_.*\)/-u\1/p'|sort|uniq`;		cd $(LNDIR) && $(LD) $(LDFLAGS) $$UNDEF_SYM $(__OBJS) 			--start-group $(__LIBS) --end-group $(PLATFORM_LIBS) 			-Map u-boot.map -o u-boot

UNDEF_SYM=</span>`arm-linux-objdump -x lib_generic/libgeneric.a board/100ask24x0/lib100ask24x0.a cpu/arm920t/libarm920t.a cpu/arm920t/s3c24x0/libs3c24x0.a lib_arm/libarm.a fs/cramfs/libcramfs.a fs/fat/libfat.a fs/fdos/libfdos.a fs/jffs2/libjffs2.a fs/reiserfs/libreiserfs.a fs/ext2/libext2fs.a net/libnet.a disk/libdisk.a rtc/librtc.a dtt/libdtt.a drivers/libdrivers.a drivers/nand/libnand.a drivers/nand_legacy/libnand_legacy.a drivers/usb/libusb.a drivers/sk98lin/libsk98lin.a common/libcommon.a |sed  -n -e 's/.*\(__u_boot_cmd_.*\)/-u\1/p'|sort|uniq`;

1、编译cpu/$(CPU)/start.S。

2、然后，对于平台/开发板相关的每个目录、每个通用目录都使用它们各自的Makefile生成相应的库。

3、将1、2步骤生成的.o、.a文件按照board/$(BOARDDIR)/config.mk文件中指定的代码段起始地址、board/$(BOARDDIR)/U-Boot.lds链接脚本进行链接。

4、第3步得到的ELF格式的U-Boot，后面Makefile还会将它转换为二进制格式S-Record格式。

（四）逐行分析链接文件
