| 5 | PIC32MZ[DA] Starter Kit |
| 6 | ---------------------------------------- |
| 7 | PIC32MZ[DA] Starter Kit is based on PIC32MZ[DA] family of micro-controller. |
| 8 | This family is powered by MIPS M14KEC 32bit general purpose core and has |
| 9 | advanced microcontroller features and peripherals. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | This processor boots with proprietary stage1 bootloader running from internal |
| 12 | boot-flash. Stage1 bootloader inturns locates and jumps to U-Boot programmed |
| 13 | on internal program-flash. Finally U-Boot loads OS image (along with other |
| 14 | required files for booting) from either uSD card, or ethernet, or from USB |
| 15 | storage. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | To boot Linux following three files are mandatory - uEnv.txt (custom U-Boot |
| 18 | environment file), uImage, *.dtb (platform device-tree-blob file). |
| 19 | |
| 20 | U-Boot jumps to Linux using UHI specification. |
