| 5 | The U-Boot Documentation |
| 6 | ======================== |
| 7 | |
| 8 | This is the top level of the U-Boot's documentation tree. U-Boot |
| 9 | documentation, like the U-Boot itself, is very much a work in progress; |
| 10 | that is especially true as we work to integrate our many scattered |
| 11 | documents into a coherent whole. Please note that improvements to the |
| 12 | documentation are welcome; join the U-Boot list at http://lists.denx.de |
| 13 | if you want to help out. |

| Bin Meng | c8fe916 | 2019-07-18 00:33:46 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 46 | These books get into the details of how specific U-Boot subsystems work |
| 47 | from the point of view of a U-Boot developer. Much of the information here |
| 48 | is taken directly from the U-Boot source, with supplemental material added |
| 49 | as needed (or at least as we managed to add it - probably *not* all that is |
| 50 | needed). |
