启动流程：Boot ROM→SPL→U-boot(→Kernel→RootFileSystem)

一、BROM阶段

全志SoC有一个非常具体的启动过程。首先，它执行一个微小的片上 Boot ROM（BROM），然后检查按钮的FEL模式，然后开始检查各种存储选项的有效的引导签名在正确的位置。

上电后，SoC开始从BROM所在的地址0xffff0000获取指令。BROM分为两部分：第一部分（0xffff0000）是FEL模式，第二部分是eGON.BRM（位于0xffff4000）。

FEL:FEL是包含在Allwinner设备上的BootROM中的低级子例程。它用于使用USB的设备的初始编程和恢复。所以，全志平台一般不会砖，就是有这个FEL。

一般来说，BROM首先检查SD卡(SD/MMC)启动可用性，其次再检查Nand Flash是否可以启动，然后再检查SPI Nor Flash的启动可用性，如果都无法启动则进入 FEL 模式。当程序初始化启动介质成功后，就从固定位置读入bootloader的Boot0到SRAM，然后跳到SRAM执行。

将u-boot烧录进SD卡

SD Card Layout：

start	size	usage
0	8KB	Unused, available for partition table etc.
8	24KB	Initial SPL loader
32	512KB	U-Boot
544	128KB	environment
672	352KB	reserved
1024	-	Free for partitions

根据SD Card Layout表，使用dd将u-boot烧录进SD卡：

sudo dd if=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=${card} bs=1024 seek=8

二、U-boot SPL阶段

SPL(Secondary Program Loader)程序流程如下：

• 初始化ARM处理器
• 初始化串口控制台
• 配置时钟和最基础的分频
• 初始化SDRAM
• 配置引脚多路复用功能
• 启动设备初始化（即上面选择的启动设备）
• 加载完整的u-boot/kernel程序并转交控制权

使用FEL/USBBoot启动spl

sudo ./sunxi-fel uboot u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin
