-[[wp>Das U-Boot]] (the universal bootloader), is arguably the richest, most flexible, and most actively developed FOSS bootloader available. It's released under the GNU GPL and maintained at [[http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/]]. Being a bootloader, uboot is not part of OpenWrt.

-However being distributed under the GPLv2, and being quite well maintained, you are free to play around with it. Like OpenWrt is build (cross compiled) with [[about:toolchain|OpenWrt Buildroot]], uboot can be build with help of the Embedded Linux Development Kit. It is quite well documented: [[http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK|ELDK-4]] / [[http://www.denx.de/wiki/ELDK-5/WebHome|ELDK-5]].

-===== Available Patches =====
-If somebody writes a patch for the bootloader implementation of a particular device, you will find links to this on the wiki-page for that device. Yet we additionally accumulate all the patches wrote for a particular bootloader on his own page. Hopefully you can get a better comprehension of the functionality of the bootloader by having a look at them:
