bootloader internals

Hi, Can anyone provide the articals/links to the internals of the bootloaders. I want to understand as what is the role of the bootloader and how it achieves it internally. And how bootloaders are used to create the RAMDISK.

Thanks Uday

You can find the source code (and more) to U-boot at

and the user's manual at

Go and study the docs and the sources.

They aren't. Bootloaders can do many things, but creating ramdisks is definitely NOT in their scope.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
