- hardware initialization (PLLs, dynamic memory controller, pin multiplexing)
- user interaction (via serial port shell)
- boot image retrieving (from flash or, mainly used in development environment, via network)
- boot parameter processing and kernel startup
U-boot is uses in all non-x86 DAVE Embedded Systems embedded platform. Most of the U-boot code and documentation is system independent for this reason users that are looking for U-boot documentation should first read the main README
file inside the source code tree and all the documents inside the doc
sub directory.
