   5 The U-Boot Documentation
   6 ========================
   7
   8 This is the top level of the U-Boot's documentation tree.  U-Boot
   9 documentation, like the U-Boot itself, is very much a work in progress;
  10 that is especially true as we work to integrate our many scattered
  11 documents into a coherent whole.  Please note that improvements to the
  12 documentation are welcome; join the U-Boot list at http://lists.denx.de
  13 if you want to help out.

  43 U-Boot API documentation
  44 ------------------------
  45
  46 These books get into the details of how specific U-Boot subsystems work
  47 from the point of view of a U-Boot developer.  Much of the information here
  48 is taken directly from the U-Boot source, with supplemental material added
  49 as needed (or at least as we managed to add it - probably *not* all that is
  50 needed).
