There are many existing bootloaders on ARM, if you are planning on writing one from scratch, it will almost certainly be better to use one of them. The whole subject is discussed at length in the Definitive guide to booting ARM Linux and on the ARMLinux community website.

[7 June 2004 – rmk] First of all, we don’t need another boot loader. If you’re planning on writing one from scratch, please don’t. Use one of the existing boot loaders, such as blob or uboot. For kernel booting requirements, please see the website: • 2.4.18-rmk6 and 2.5.17 and later booting requirements • Setting R2 correctly for booting the kernel (explaination of booting requirements).
