  1. The kernel sets up the caches, initializes each of the hardware devices via the init function in each driver, mounts the root filesystem and execs the init process, which is the ultimate parent of all user mode processes, typically /sbin/initd.
  2. Executing the first program linked against the shared C runtime library (often init) causes the shared runtime library to be loaded. In a typical Linux system, init reads /etc/inittab to execute the appropriate run control script from /etc/rc.d, which execute the start scripts to initialize networking and other system services

    1. The ROM startup code initializes the CPU and memory controller, performing only minimal initialization of on-chip devices, such as the console serial port (typically SMC1 on 8xx devices) to provide boot diagnostic messages. It also sets up the memory map for the kernel to use in a format that is consistent across platforms, and then jumps to the boot loader.

     Several pieces of software are involved to boot a linux kernel on SAM9 products. First is the ROM code which is in charge to check if a valid application is present on supported media (FLASH, DATAFLASH, NANDFLASH, SDCARD).

    The boot sequence of linux4SAM is done in several steps :

    Changed:

    1. Boot Program - Check if a valid application is present in FLASH and if it is the case download it into internal SRAM.
      For more informations on this topic, please check the Boot strategies section and particularly the Boot capabilities matrix.
