The CompuLab CL-SOM-iMX7 System-on-Module / Computer-on-Module is using U-Boot boot-loader for low-level initializations and operating system loading. U-Boot is an open source firmware for wide range of embedded systems (e.g. PowerPC, ARM, MIPS, x86, ColdFire, AVR32, NIOS, etc.). On this page we will discuss only features and use cases related to CompuLab CL-SOM-iMX7 module. For more information on U-Boot, please refer to Official U-Boot Homepage.
