Das U-Boot (subtitled "the Universal Boot Loader" and often shortened to U-Boot; see History for more about the name) is an open-source boot loader used in embedded devices to perform various low-level hardware initialization tasks and boot the device's operating system kernel.
A bootloader, also spelled as boot loader [1] [2] or called bootstrap loader, is a computer program that is responsible for booting a computer. If it also provides an interactive menu with multiple boot choices then it's often called a boot manager .
Note: The column MBR (Master Boot Record) refers to whether or not the boot loader can be stored in the first sector of a mass storage device. The column VBR (Volume Boot Record) refers to the ability of the boot loader to be stored in the first sector of any partition on a mass storage device.
Barebox is a primary boot loader used in embedded devices. It is free software under the GPL-2.0-only license. [4] It is available for a number of different computer architectures, including ARM, x86, MIPS and RISC-V. [5]
Common Firmware Environment (CFE), sometimes pronounced as 'cafe', [1] is a firmware interface and bootloader developed by Broadcom for 32-bit and 64-bit system-on-a-chip systems. It is intended to be a flexible toolkit of CPU initialization and bootstrap code for use on embedded processors (typically running on MIPS32/64 instruction set CPUs ...
coreboot is a free implementation of the UEFI or BIOS and usually deployed with the system board, and field upgrades provided by the vendor if need be. Parts of coreboot becomes the systems BIOS and stays resident in memory after boot. Das U-Boot is a bootloader for embedded systems. It is used on systems that do not have a BIOS/UEFI but rather ...
The USB boot software can also be used to make Windows 8, 10, or 11 run entirely from USB. YUMI (Your Universal Multiboot Integrator) is also a separate open-source product release that has several enhanced features, some have been integrated into UUI.
The boot ROM of NXP systems on a chip (SOCs) support configuring the peripherals through specific pins of the system on a chip. On the i.MX6 family it also supports configuring the boot order through efuses. The boot ROM of several NXP SoCs have many ways to load the first stage bootloader (from eMMC, microSD, USB, etc.).
