it starts execution of the first code in the U-Boot image at address
defined with CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE. What it actually does is platform
dependent. Compile the image for your target and then search for this
address the System.map file. On ARM there will be a _start label for
this address, it is usually some code in assembly file (branch
instruction at reset vector).
