Quickboot

Detailed Description

Applies to: Platforms with NVIDIA® Tegra® processors only.

Quickboot is the boot loader for all NVIDIA DRIVE 5.0 products.

This customizable boot loader runs on AVP to initialize the CPU, after which it runs on CPU and starts the OS. In addition to booting the device, this boot loader can interact with NvFlash to obtain binary images on appropriate storage media. It then uses Fastboot to flash those images.

In addition to the above features, Quickboot:
