Support of this system is YMMV (your mileage may vary), and depends on vendor-provided BSP (Board Support Package) based components.

~~Three types~~ of bootloaders are available:

Two kinds of bootloaders are available in different variants:

* U-Boot

** [https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot/ Mainline] - Supports all storage boot options, including NVMe

** [https://dl.radxa.com/rock5/sw/images/loader/rock-5b/ Vendor] - Works well for eMMC and SD card boot, not for NVMe.

** [https://github.com/samueldr/Tow-Boot/tree/wip/rock5-vendor Not-TowBoot] - Supports eMMC and SD card, NVMe sometimes.

*** Vendor U-Boot built using the TowBoot build infrastructure

* EDK2/TianoCore

** [https://github.com/edk2-porting/edk2-rk3588 EDK2 UEFI Firmware] - Supports all storage boot options, including NVMe.

* [https://dl.radxa.com/rock5/sw/images/loader/rock-5b/ Vendor U-Boot] - Works well for eMMC and SD card boot, not for NVMe.

* [https://github.com/samueldr/Tow-Boot/tree/wip/rock5-vendor Community U-Boot] - Supports eMMC and SD card, NVMe sometimes.

* [https://github.com/edk2-porting/edk2-rk3588 EDK2 UEFI Firmware] - Supports all storage boot options, including NVMe.
