U-Boot (u-boot.bin)
The universal bootloader starts the system. The CPU of the system can only execute program code that is
located in the ROM (read only memory) or in the RAM (random access memory) of the TC1. The Linux
operating system, the root file system and all user applications are stored in the NOR flash. The NOR flash is a
nonvolatile data storage. At startup, the U-Boot copies all files to the RAM that are necessary for running the
system.
U-Boot environment variables (u-boot_env.txt)

directory, which contains a number of subdirectories, which can contain more subdirectories.
