从头开始移植u-boot和linux kernel 到imx6ul之u-boot

soc的启动一般都有下面这几个阶段：
1.soc上电，执行IROM中的厂商固话的boot_strap 代码
2.IROM中的boot_strap 代码初始化IRAM
3.并把IROM中的boot_strap 代码拷贝到IRAM中
4.跳到IRAM中继续执行boot_strap 代码
5.在IRAM中的boot_strap 代码初始化外部RAM，也就是主memory，一般是某种DDR器件。
6.在IRAM中的boot_strap 代码根据硬件的启动模式配置从对应的启动介质中拷贝用户的启动代码到RAM中
7.执行RAM中的用户的启动代码
总之，就像滚雪球一样，从最初的IROM中往外开疆拓土，最后完成用户程序（比如操作系统）的运行。
正好手中有一块NXP 的imx6ul开发板，想做个u-boot的移植实验，看看能够跑起u-boot的最小配置是怎么样的。
首先，找一个u-boot版本入手
http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/SourceCode

ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/

心想既然要移植，那就找个最新的版本吧。但下载下来后提示我的交叉编译工具版本太老了，高版本的u-boot中已经需要v4.6版本以上的gcc交叉编译工具了，已经不支持我手上的v4.5版本交叉工具链了。
最终，找来找去，发现u-boot-2017.11这个版本是最后一个能支持我手上的交叉编译工具版本的，所以只能下这个版本的进行试验了。
2.source 一下交叉编译工具环境变量
1.解压u-boot源码压缩包到工作目录
2. make board_xxx_default_config
3.make menuconfig
make
然后发现生成了uboot-spl
而我的imx6ul一般使用uboot.imx格式的文件，这个是在u-boot.bin基础上做了些修改，能够被IROM中的boot_strap解析的uboot镜像格式，使用这种格式，就可以借助boot_strap代码帮助我们初始化DDR，有了DDR，其他什么都好办了。
1.添加一个board配置

配置文件my_imx6ul_defconfig 中为空
清理一下工作目录，确保旧的配置什么的都被清理干净

make 一下我们的配置

root@ubuntu:~/my-imx6/02_source/u-boot-2017.11# ls configs/
