Developing a Boot Loader (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/5/2010
A boot loader is generally used to place the operating system (OS) image into memory and then jump to the OS startup routine. A boot loader is also typically used during the board support package (BSP) development process to save time by quickly downloading a new run-time image to a target device.
