For example, Das U-Boot may be split into two stages: the platform would load a small SPL (Secondary Program Loader), which is a stripped-down version of U-Boot, and the SPL would do some initial hardware configuration (e.g. DRAM initialization using CPU cache as RAM) and load the larger, fully featured version of U-Boot.

The first stage bootloader, which is a part of the MBR, is a 512-byte image containing the vendor-specific program code and a partition table. [6] As mentioned earlier in the introduction part, the first stage bootloader will find and load the second stage bootloader. [6] It does this by searching in the partition table for an active partition. [6]
The boot ROM of NXP systems on a chip (SOCs) support configuring the peripherals through specific pins of the system on a chip. On the i.MX6 family it also supports configuring the boot order through efuses. The boot ROM of several NXP SoCs have many ways to load the first stage bootloader (from eMMC, microSD, USB, etc.).
The Primary Bootloader (PBL), which is stored in the Boot ROM [3] is the first stage of the boot process. This code is written by the chipset manufacturer. [4] The PBL verifies the authenticity of the next stage. On Samsung smartphones, the Samsung Secure Boot Key (SSBK) is used by the boot ROM to verify the next stages. [5]
Stage 3: a full compiler is produced by the stage 2 full compiler. If more features are to be added, work resumes at stage 2, with the current stage 3 full compiler replacing the bootstrap compiler. The full compiler is built twice in order to compare the outputs of the two stages.
In Windows NT, the booting process is initiated by NTLDR in versions before Vista and the Windows Boot Manager (BOOTMGR) in Vista and later. [4] The boot loader is responsible for accessing the file system on the boot drive, starting ntoskrnl.exe, and loading boot-time device drivers into memory.
C23, formally ISO/IEC 9899:2024, is the current open standard for the C programming language, which supersedes C17 (standard ISO/IEC 9899:2018). [1] It was started in 2016 informally as C2x, [2] and was published on October 31, 2024. [3] The freely available draft most similar to the one published is document N3220 [4] (see Available texts, below).
