As an opinionated example, you can get started with [https://github.com/Tow-Boot/Tow-Boot Tow-Boot, a ''U-Boot'' distribution], which is intended to make the initial setup a bit easier by abstracting the platform differences so that they do not matter. | As an opinionated example, you can get started with [https://github.com/Tow-Boot/Tow-Boot Tow-Boot, a ''U-Boot'' distribution], which is intended to make the initial setup a bit easier by abstracting the platform differences so that they do not matter. | ||
Where supported, Nix can be used to build U-boot from its main-line repositories. See [[U-Boot#Building a packaged U-Boot]] for further information. The resulting firmware image can then be flashed to SPI with tools such as <code>flashcp</code> or <code>flashrom</code>, or installed to EMMC/SD card by writing to specific offsets. This is platform specific, refer to [https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot/tree/master/doc/board upstream U-boot documentation for your platform or board]. | |||
