From ROM to Kernel: Linux Boot Process on BeagleBone Black
Ever wondered how Linux actually boots up? In this video, we break down the Linux booting sequence step by step using the BeagleBone Black as a practical example. Perfect for interview prep or anyone diving into embedded systems.
🔍 What you’ll learn:
The role of the ROM bootloader inside the processor
How the system chooses a boot source (like SD card)
What the SPL/MLO does to initialize hardware
How U-Boot loads the kernel and device tree
The moment the Linux kernel takes control and starts user-space processes
By the end, you’ll understand the full journey—from power-on to a running Linux system.
💡 Whether you’re preparing for a tech interview or exploring embedded development, this walkthrough will give you the clarity you need.
