在编译ZedBoard的u-boot.elf（ssbl）中知道了编译u-boot的步骤，以及u-boot下载地址，这里使用2014.4版本。由于现在使用的是zc702开发板，所以应该使用如下命令编译u-boot：
1、make zynq_zc70x_config
2、make
其中第1条命令和第2条命令都会执行根目录下的Makefile文件，但是在Makefile文件中会判断make命令后是否跟了带_config的参数。如果带了，就会执行mkconfig -A zynq_zc70x这条命令。否则就执行生成u-boot.bin的那一大段命令。
这里mkconfig做了几件事：
1、从boards.cfg中获取目标板参数，并将参数传给8个变量。
2、./arch/arm/include/asm下进行一些文件夹链接。
3、在./include/目录下生成config.mk和config.h文件。
