<br>
<br>
You need to provide more information regarding your development. What
bootloader you want to install / create depends on many factors<br>
<ol>
<li>What is your target application.<br>
</li>
<li>Chip architecture : does it have MMU (most significant
parameter)</li>
<li>Is there a bootloader existing for the architecture (u-boot
/
Grub / Lilo ) have ready made ports for lot of architectures. You would
have to see if they already have done the development.</li>
<li>What OS you are planning to port.. or there is no OS to be
installed. E.g. some bootloaders like u-boot are optimized for Linux
kernel. </li>
</ol>
Please answer to those question so that you would get more relevant
answer.<br>

its utterly rude to top post. Please don't do that.(read community
guidelines)<br>
<br>
its most likely Linux(if not, probably this in not the list for it),
and there were couple of mails where he did discuss about arch and
detail.<br>

Got your point... It's just that I am following this convention since
past 10 years (No one told me it was rude).<br>
Also about the Vamidhar post I did not find any old reference.<div class="im"><br>
