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.

Chaitannya,

its utterly rude to top post. Please don't do that.(read community guidelines)

its most likely Linux(if not, probably this in not the list for it), and there were couple of mails where he did discuss about arch and detail.




Got your point... It's just that I am following this convention since past 10 years (No one told me it was rude).
Also about the Vamidhar post I did not find any old reference.
