This is developer documentation for the Neutron bootloader, part of Project Atom. The wiki is organised into chapters, each with sub-chapters (pages) in Markdown format.
How to use the documentation
Start from the Chapters list below to find the topic you need. Each chapter has a short description; click through to see its sub-pages. Within each page, links point to related sections (e.g. build steps, memory map, kernel format) so you can follow the thread without jumping back to this index. If you are new to Neutron, begin with Introduction and Bootloader Layout and Design; if you want to build or run the project, go to Build Configuration. Kernel authors should head to Kernel Development Guide.
