BOOT(1)                            Spinix OS                            BOOT(1)

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.
