Boot Loader OBject

originally written for a Intel StrongArm SA-1100 based board as part of the [[LART project]]. It was ported to several different platforms, but due to it's initial development being targeted at a single platform, porting it to other devices not based on the Intel StrongArm series proved difficult. the project has become defunct in favor of more robust bootloaders such as [[APEX]] and [[U-Boot]].

Blob can…

* initialise the hardware (CPU speed, memory, interrupts, RS232)
* boot a linux kernel and provide it with a ramdisk
* download a kernel or a ramdisk to the LART
* write a freshly downloaded kernel or ramdisk to flash memory
* determine the memory layout (and tell the kernel about the results)
* give a command line to the kernel
