1.boot.axf
This is the allwinner 'battery charging app' that also chainloads u-boot 
if need so.

2.boot_signature.axf

this is some sort of signature required by boot.axf i assume

3.drv_hdmi.drv

this is the HDMI driver to output over ... hdmi yes

4.font32.sft

a font

5.magic.bin

some secret sauce

6.prvt.axf

some private data

7.script.bin

the famous script.bin/fex

8.boot.ini

a dos file for boot.axf to parse to decide what to boot

9.drv_de.drv

display engine driver

10.font24.sft

a nother font!

11.linux   -> linux.bmp  linux.ini  u-boot.bin (sub contents).
the linux splash screen (android actually) an ini file to tell boot.axf 
what and how to boot it (it being u-boot).
u-boot here is the lichee-u-boot, one that does NOT init dram, but DOES 
support NAND

12.os_show   ->bat0.bmp   bat2.bmp  bat5.bmp  bat8.bmp bempty.bmp
full.bmplinux2.bmp   melis2.bmp   wince1.bmp
   bat10.bmp  bat3.bmp  bat6.bmp  bat9.bmp
bootlogo.bmp  head.bmplow_pwr.bmp  startup.bmp  wince2.bmp
   bat1.bmp   bat4.bmp  bat7.bmp  battery.bmp
empty.bmp linux1.bmp  melis1.bmp   tail.bmp
boot.axf image files (like empty battery, charging, some pics they 
intended to use as boot selector that never happened.



13.script0.bin

backup copy of script.bin, in case 1 is broken it tries to read this one

14.sprite.axf

helper program to handle the loading of bitmaps it would seem.



Out of these i know script.bin , and u-boot.bin (but i flashed to
/dev/sdc ).
you cannot flash that u-boot to a SD card, it works only on nand, and 
you shouldn't mess with it.


Kindly tell what will be purpose of remaining binaries.

and tell me what will be difference between boot0 ,boot1 and
sunxi-spl.bin ,u-boot.bin.

YOu really don't know this yet? Have you ever looked at our wiki?

boot0 is allwinner's version of what we call u-boot-sunxi-spl. boot1 is 
allwinners variant of what we call u-boot.bin boot0/1 is what we call 
u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin which is inteded to be flashed to an mmc card, 
starting at the 8k marker.
