<p>
Welcome to U-Boot's website.
<br/>
Das U-Boot, often shortened to U-Boot, is a free and open-source boot loader for various embedded devices,
whose purpose is to perform various hardware initialization tasks and boot the device's operating system kernel.
</p>
<p>
U-Boot is loaded from a supported storage device, such as a microSD card or SPI flash, and the operating system kernel is
loaded from a storage device supported by U-Boot on the particular system, such as a microSD card or eMMC chip.
</p>
<p>
U-Boot also provides a command-line interface on the system console or serial port, which allows the user to interact with
the boot process in various ways.
</p>
<p>
Often described as the universal boot loader, U-Boot is available for many architectures, including ARM, MIPS, PowerPC,
RISC-V, x86 and x86_64. If you want to learn more about U-Boot, you may wish to read the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Das_U-Boot">Wikipedia U-Boot article</a>
