start_amboot()函数分析

一、整体流程

   start_amboot()函数是执行完start.S汇编文件后第一个C语言函数，完成的功能自然还是初始化的工作 。

1、全局变量指针r8设定，以及全局变量区清零

2、执行一些类初始化函数，详细见init_sequence所对应的函数

3、初始化norflash

4、初始化显示器

5、初始化堆区

6、初始化nandflash

7、环境变量重定位，详见uboot环境变量（env）初始化

8、网络设置

9、设备初始化，详见uboot的devices_init函数分析

10、函数跳转表初始化，详见uboot的jumptable_init函数分析

11、控制台初始化

12、中断使能

最终：进入main_loop

二、函数注释
