6*4882a593Smuzhiyun----------------------------------------
7*4882a593SmuzhiyunPIC32MZ[DA] Starter Kit is based on PIC32MZ[DA] family of micro-controller.
8*4882a593SmuzhiyunThis family is powered by MIPS M14KEC 32bit general purpose core and has
9*4882a593Smuzhiyunadvanced microcontroller features and peripherals.
10*4882a593Smuzhiyun
11*4882a593SmuzhiyunThis processor boots with proprietary stage1 bootloader running from internal
12*4882a593Smuzhiyunboot-flash. Stage1 bootloader inturns locates and jumps to U-Boot programmed
13*4882a593Smuzhiyunon internal program-flash. Finally U-Boot loads OS image (along with other
14*4882a593Smuzhiyunrequired files for booting) from either uSD card, or ethernet, or from USB
15*4882a593Smuzhiyunstorage.
16*4882a593Smuzhiyun
17*4882a593SmuzhiyunTo boot Linux following three files are mandatory - uEnv.txt (custom U-Boot
18*4882a593Smuzhiyunenvironment file), uImage, *.dtb (platform device-tree-blob file).
19*4882a593Smuzhiyun
20*4882a593SmuzhiyunU-Boot jumps to Linux using UHI specification.
