NAME
boot - spinix boot program
DESCRIPTION
The spinix boot program resides in the Propeller boot EEPROM. When run
for the first time, the boot program prompts the user for the I/O pins
used to interface to the SD card. The pin values are stored back into
EEPROM so that the user does not need to specify them in subsequent
start ups.
The boot program starts up the serial and SD drivers. The serial and
SD drivers and the kernel each run in their own cog.
The boot program reads the file _shell.var, and set the SHELL
environment variable to the contents of this file. It then verifies
that the shell program exists, and starts the shell.
