+\begin{itemize}
+\item clocks (CPU, PLLs, peripherals...)
+\item memory (DRAM-controller, NAND-controller...)
+\item serial interface

+\begin{itemize}
+\item U-Boot
+\item Redboot

+\frametitle{Boot Procedure}
+\begin{itemize}
+\item bootloader initializes hardware
+\pause
+\item bootloader loads the kernel (device tree, initrd)
+\pause
+\item bootloader jumps to kernel instructions...
+\pause
+\item ...providing kernel parameters
+\pause
+\item kernel initializes internal structures and drivers
+\pause
+\item kernel mounts a root filesystem
+\pause
+\item kernel starts '/sbin/init'
+\end{itemize}

+\frametitle{Common Problems: 1. Bootloader}
+\pause
+\begin{itemize}
+\item not correctly written to flash
+\item incorrect DRAM or NAND timings
+\item incorrect load address of the kernel
+\item not enough space available for the kernel
+\item incorrect IP address (for TFTP booting)
+\end{itemize}
+\end{frame}

+\begin{frame}
+\frametitle{Common Problems: 2. Kernel}
+\pause
+\begin{itemize}
+\item bootloader incorrectly initialized the hardware
+\item bootloader provided incorrect parameters
+\item incorrect device-tree information
+\item root filesystem drivers not in kernel
+\end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}
+\frametitle{Common Problems: 3. Userspace}
+\pause
+\begin{itemize}
+\item missing device nodes in the root filesystem
+\item missing drivers (static or kernel modules)
+\item missing necessary programs, configuration files, or links in the root filesystem
+\item start scripts not capable of handling all situations
+\end{itemize}
