我试着分析smdk2410_config对应的代码执行流程，接触u-boot时间较短，有不周之处还请见谅。
通常执行u-boot第一步就是进行开发板的配置，而smdk2410的配置命令如下：
make smdk2410_config
而Makefile中对应内容如下：
775 %_config:: unconfig 776 @$(MKCONFIG) -A $(@:_config=)
因为Makefile是先执行后面的目标再执行其后的命令，所以会执行unconfig对应的目标：
770 unconfig: 771 @rm -f $(obj)include/config.h $(obj)include/config.mk 772 $(obj)board/*/config.tmp $(obj)board/*/*/config.tmp 773 $(obj)include/autoconf.mk $(obj)include/autoconf.mk.dep
unconfig目标会把以前配置产生的文件先删除掉。
$(MKCONFIG)对应mkconfig文件
当配置参数是smdk2410时，$(@:_config=)的值为smdk2410
所以相当于执行下面的内容：
mkconfig -A smdk2410
mkconfig文件内容如下：

其中24行从boards.cfg中查找包含smdk2410并其后紧跟空格的行，从而可以得到：
line = smdk2410 arm arm920t - samsung s3c24x0
后续内容就是创建一些文件夹链接。
之后根据line提取出arch,cpu,board,vendor,soc,并写入到include/config.mk中，include/config.mk内容如下：
1 ARCH = arm 2 CPU = arm920t 3 BOARD = smdk2410 4 VENDOR = samsung 5 SOC = s3c24x0
然后将配置写入到include/config.h中，include/config.h内容如下：
1 /* Automatically generated - do not edit */ 2 #define CONFIG_SYS_ARCH "arm" 3 #define CONFIG_SYS_CPU "arm920t" 4 #define CONFIG_SYS_BOARD "smdk2410" 5 #define CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR "samsung" 6 #define CONFIG_SYS_SOC "s3c24x0" 7 #define CONFIG_BOARDDIR board/samsung/smdk2410 8 #include <config_cmd_defaults.h> 9 #include <config_defaults.h> 10 #include <configs/smdk2410.h> 11 #include <asm/config.h> 12 #include <config_fallbacks.h> 13 #include <config_uncmd_spl.h>
这样整个配置部分就基本完成了
