Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/1] ref-manual: add boot architecture documentation
Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2026 08:29:22 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260331122924.54516-1-jon.mason@arm.com> (raw)

This RFC adds documentation to the Yocto Project for the hardware boot flow, the software components involved in that flow, and the proposed variables used to prevent invalid combinations of mutually exclusive boot software components.

This documentation is intended to provide common background and context in the Yocto Project for the associated software selections and variable usage.

This RFC is documentation-only so I can get feedback on the description, terminology, and overall approach before sending the full implementation.  I plan to send a full patch series that includes
this documentation along with the corresponding recipe and variable changes for the relevant software components after addressing any feedback.

Comments on the content, naming, and placement would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jon
