Re: writing boot loader

[Chaitannya Mahatme <chaitannya@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Vamidhar,


You need to provide more information regarding your development. What bootloader you want to install / create depends on many factors

1. What is your target application.
   
2. Chip architecture : does it have MMU (most significant parameter)
3. Is there a bootloader existing for the  architecture (u-boot / Grub / Lilo ) have ready made ports for lot of architectures. You would have to see if they already have done the development.
4. What OS you are planning to port.. or there is no OS to be installed. E.g. some bootloaders like u-boot are optimized for Linux kernel. 

Please answer to those question so that you would get more relevant answer.
