Bonjour,

How to acess the BIOS of Raspberry pi?
Is there any full manual of Raspberry pi specifications?

Thanks.

The Pi has no BIOS.
You can get an abridged Datasheet and schematics ,
but no documentation , compilers or code for the GPU.

The Pi uses the GPU to boot. The first stage bootloader
is secret GPU code. You can write your own second-stage
bootloader , though. u-boot has been ported and
there is an example bootloader called rpi-boot. Check the
bare metal subforum for lots and lots of info.

• Don't like the board ? Missing features ? Change to the prosilver theme ! You can find it in your settings.
• Don't like to search the forum BEFORE posting 'cos it's useless ? Try googling : yoursearchtermshere site:raspberrypi.org
