This is Slim Bootloader architectural design to make a +payload light-weight, platform independent and more generic across different +boot solutions or payloads, and to minimize hardware re-initialization in a +payload. + +Build Instruction for U-Boot as a Slim Bootloader payload +--------------------------------------------------------- + +Build U-Boot and obtain u-boot-dtb.bin:: + + $ make distclean + $ make slimbootloader_defconfig + $ make all + +Prepare Slim Bootloader +----------------------- + +1.
