Abstract

Bootloader is an important part in the developing stage of embedded system. Most embedded Linux Bootloaders are developed based on development and application, which have the disadvantages of large code capacity and low booting speed. In this paper, by only operating necessary equipments closely related to booting Linux kernel and combining with dual-boot characteristic of S3C2440 and the staged booting method, a new fast booting Bootloader is designed, which can support dual-boot of NOR Flash and NAND Flash. The practical test results show that the Bootloader prompted in this paper has the advantages of low code capacity, fast booting speed and high implementation efficiency.
