  u-boot.lds的详细分析    Linker Script Format Linker scripts are text files. You write a linker script as a series of commands. Each command is either a keyword, possibly followed by arguments, or an assignment to a symbol. You may separate commands using semicolons. Whitespace is generally ignored. Strings such as file or format names can normally be entered directly. If the file name contains a character such as a comma which would otherwise serve to separate file names, you may put the file name in double quotes. There is no way to use a double quote character in a file name. You may include comments in linker scripts just as in C, delimited by ‘/*’and‘*/’. As in C, comments are syntactically equivalent to whitespace. 一个可执行img （镜像）文件必须有一个入口点，并且只能有一个全局入口点，通常这个入口点的地址放在ROM （Flash）的 0x0000000 位置，因此我们必须使编译器知道这个入口地址，而该过程是通过修改连接脚本文件来完成的。 这里，我们可以尝试着分析一下u-boot-1.1.6 的链接脚本u-boot.lds。可以选择u-boot-1.1.6/board/smdk2410/ 目录下的链接 脚本u-boot.lds 进行剖析。 OUTPUT_FORMAT (elf32-littlearm, elf32-littlearm, elf32-littlearm) 先看看GNU 官方对OUTPUT_FORMAT 的解释： Commands Dealing with Object File Formats A couple of linker script commands deal with object-file formats. OUTPUT_FORMAT(bfdname) OUTPUT_FORMAT(default, big, little) The OUTPUT_FORMAT command names the BFD format to use for the output file. Using OUTPUT_FORMAT (bfdname) is exactly like using ‘--oformat bfdname’ on the command line. If both are used, the command line option takes precedence. You can use OUTPUT_FORMAT with three arguments to use different formats based on the ‘-EB’ and ‘-EL’ command line options. This permits the linker script to set the output format based on the desired endianness. If neither ‘-EB’ nor ‘-EL’ are used, then the output format will be the first argument, default. If ‘-EB’ is used, the output format will be the second argument, big. If ‘-EL’ is used, th
