How can one "discover" something well documented in the datasheet, and on google https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=266130, https://www.google.com/search?q=raspberry+pi+boot+chain
atoav•1h ago
As an electrical engineer: you'd be surprised how many people "discover" long held truths like that you can use the MPN ("Manufacturer Part Number") of a device to find it's documentation and that this documentation sometimes contains useful data.

> This explains several Raspberry Pi oddities:

> The Raspberry Pi has No BIOS / UEFI

This isn't really that strange for an ARM SoC.

baobun•1h ago
Also, there is UEFI firmware for it.

oddmiral•1h ago
Can this UEFI firmware be ported to other ARM devices, e.g. phones, tablets, books?
baobun•55m ago
Have you checked out uboot?

https://u-boot.org/

franga2000•33m ago
Doesn't everything under the sun boot with uboot? Uboot is usually what people want to replace when they say "why can't this just run UEFI?"
