ABSTRACT
Booting the target system, whether a third-party evaluation board or a custom design, can be a mystery to many newcomers. Indeed, it is daunting to pick up a programmer’s reference manual for the target board and pore over tables of memory addresses and registers or to review the hardware component interconnection diagrams, wondering what it all means, what to do with the information (some of which makes little sense), and how to relate the information to running an image on the target system.
