Subject: [U-Boot-Users] OS dependencies on the bootloader

Message-ID: <43BC4A51.9050203@mc.com> (raw)
Hello everyone,
A general bootloader question: How much hardware initialization should a
bootloader perform for the target OS?
I see a minimal memory controller setup to allow subsequent loading of
an OS image. ECC might also be setup but all remaining resources would
typically be setup by the OS.
Although I haven't tried booting Linux (we boot the vxworks bootrom),
does an embedded Linux make any assumptions about what the bootloader
initializes?
Thank you and best regards, Andy
