This is a curated list of presentations regading Linux booting. The topics are categorized roughly according to the [*RISC-V Summit 2019: 74 An Introduction to RISC V Boot Flow*](https://youtu.be/sPjtvqfGjnY), in which Anup Patel summerized the booting processes of Linux on x86-64, Arm64 and RISC-V architectures. The picture below is taken from the [slides](https://riscv.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Summit_bootflow.pdf):


In COSCUP 2023 there is a *Introduction to Booting RISC V Linux* explaining the booting process on RISC-V with actual example:
