Summary

Lightning Boot is the boot loader used by the Didj. Several modifications have been made to the stock Lightning Boot (Version 1.0) to enhance its abilities. A menu screen has been added, with several options. These options have been expanded on each version, to include such things as booting off SD card, loading U-Boot or zImage off of SD, etc.
