It provides a complete bootstrap environment for a range of embeddedoperating systems, such as embedded Linux™ and eCos™, and includes facilitiessuch as network downloading and debugging. It also provides a simple flashfile system for boot images.</P><P>RedBoot provides a wide set of tools for downloading and executing programson embedded target systems, as well as tools for manipulating the target system'senvironment. It can be used for both product development (debug support) andfor end product deployment (flash and network booting).</P><P>Here are some highlights of RedBoot’s capabilities: </P><P></P><UL><LI><P>Boot scripting support</P></LI><LI><P>Simple command line interface for RedBoot configuration andmanagement, accessible via serial (terminal) or Ethernet (telnet) </P></LI><LI><P>Integrated GDB stubs for connection to a host-based debuggervia serial or ethernet.

For example, with appropriate additions, RedBoot could replacethe commonly used BIOS of PC (and certain other) architectures. Red Hat iscurrently installing RedBoot on all embedded platforms as a standard practice,and RedBoot is now generally included as part of all Red Hat Embedded Linuxand eCos ports.
