Boot System Design

Introduction

The CFBD Boot System provides a lightweight, generic framework for managing application startup sequences. It separates bootstrap logic from main application code, enabling modular initialization of hardware, drivers, and application layers.

Architecture

The boot system consists of three core components:

• Bootstrap Arguments (CFBD_BootArgs): Opaque containers for configuration data
• Bootstrap Functions (CFBD_BootStrapFunc): Entry points executed during startup
• Bootstrap Tuples (CFBDBootTuple): Associations between functions and their arguments

Typical Workflow

1. Define boot configuration structures for each initialization stage
2. Create bootstrap functions that operate on those configurations
3. Build a static boot table using [CFBDBootTuple](Classes/structCFBDBootTuple.md) entries
4. Iterate the table and invoke each function sequentially
5. Handle failures by stopping the sequence or triggering recovery
