The U-Boot Documentation
|
||
|
|
========================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is the top level of the U-Boot's documentation tree. U-Boot
|
||
|
|
documentation, like the U-Boot itself, is very much a work in progress;
|
||
|
|
that is especially true as we work to integrate our many scattered
|
||
|
|
documents into a coherent whole. Please note that improvements to the
|
||
|
|
documentation are welcome; join the U-Boot list at http://lists.denx.de
|
||
|
|
if you want to help out.

User-oriented documentation
|
||
|
|
---------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The following manuals are written for *users* of the U-Boot - those who are
|
||
|
|
trying to get it to work optimally on a given system.

Unified Extensible Firmware (UEFI)
|
||
|
|
----------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
U-Boot provides an implementation of the UEFI API allowing to run UEFI
|
||
|
|
compliant software like Linux, GRUB, and iPXE. Furthermore U-Boot itself
|
||
|
|
can be run an UEFI payload.

Driver-Model documentation
|
||
|
|
--------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The following holds information on the U-Boot device driver framework:
|
||
|
|
driver-model, including the design details of itself and several driver
|
||
|
|
subsystems.

U-Boot API documentation
|
||
|
|
------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These books get into the details of how specific U-Boot subsystems work
|
||
|
|
from the point of view of a U-Boot developer. Much of the information here
|
||
|
|
is taken directly from the U-Boot source, with supplemental material added
|
||
|
|
as needed (or at least as we managed to add it - probably *not* all that is
|
||
|
|
needed).
