Customizing Quickboot

The Quickboot boot loader for the CPU:

• Provides a debugging mode.
• Includes a single build for Quickboot, which works for all platforms. All platform-specific configurations must occur through the DTB file.
• Optimized for embedded and automotive applications.

Boot Stages

Quickboot loads the kernel image from KERNEL_PRIMARY partition on flash. Based on whether the image is compressed, it performs on-the fly decompression of the kernel image and boots the same.

Decompression

Quickboot supports decompression algorithms:

• LZ4: performs good compression with faster decompression time.

The default decompression scheme is LZ4.
