The boot wrapper contains both a minimal bootloader and a tool to
generate an image suitable for execution by the AArch64 software
simulator. The image generated embeds the minimal bootloader, the
kernel image, the Device Tree Blob and the kernel command line.

Note that this new package, at91bootstrap3, is being added alongside the
existing at91bootstrap. This was suggested by Thomas Petazzoni, whose
comments on the mailing list are quoted below.
For this package, I am not sure we can do a simple version bump. Since
there is (was?) no upstream for AT91Bootstrap 1.x, many
vendors/companies had to maintain their patches on top of AT91Bootstrap
1.x. See for example
board/calao/usb-a9263/at91bootstrap-1.16-usb-a9263.patch. Therefore,
removing AT91Bootstrap 1.x from the tree will prevent those platforms
to work. I know people should upgrade, but AT91Bootstrap 3.x is quite
significantly different, so the porting effort is not that simple.
Therefore, I'm wondering whether we should kee at91bootstrap as it is,
and create a separate package at91bootstrap3 for the 3.x generation.

MXS platforms (imx23 and imx28) are relying on bootlets as their first
stage bootloaders, that can then either start a regular second stage
bootloader or directly a Linux kernel. However, the Makefile allows
only to build u-boot and linux images at the same time, which is
not very convenient as we will more likely use only one of them,
so we need to duplicate a bit what is already done so that we are able
to choose what we want to generate.
thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com:
* Remove incorrect dependency on BR2_PACKAGE_ELFTOSB
* Each board configuration option is for one board, not multiple
boards, so use singular.
* The i.MX28 support is for i.MX28 EVK only, reflect that in the
option prompt and the option name.
* Use 'generic-package' instead of GENTARGETS

This will build kickstart and s1l for the selected board and install
them alongside u-boot.

This will allow to match the currently Config.in option
BR2_TARGET_UBOOT, in order to make it easy to integrate U-Boot into
the package infrastructure.

Grub 2 has been marked BROKEN in June 2010, and nobody cared to fix it
since then.
At that time, it was marked broken because the build process needed a
Ruby interpreter available on the host, and it's really a pain that
building a bootloader needs such a thing.
I've tried to upgrade the package to Grub2 1.99-rcX, and now it does
not need a Ruby interpreter anymore, but instead requires a tool
called "autogen", which itself needs the Guile Scheme interpreter.
Since we haven't heard any complaints about Grub2 being marked broken,
and since it's such a pain to package, let's get rid of it. Of course,
anybody interested in Grub2 is invited to contribute a working
package.

Yaboot does not build, hasn't been updated since a long time, and
isn't very common these days on embedded PowerPC platforms.
