Das U-Boot (Universal Bootloader, short for Das Unterseeboot, German for the submarine) is a boot loader for a number of different computer architectures, including PPC, ARM, AVR32, MIPS, x86, 68k, Nios, and MicroBlaze. It is free software released under the terms of the GNU General Public License. It can be built on an x86 PC for any supported architecture using a cross development GNU toolchain, for example crosstool, the Embedded Linux Development Kit (ELDK) or OSELAS.Toolchain.

U-Boot originated in work done by Magnus Damm on a 8xx PowerPC bootloader called 8xxROM. When Wolfgang Denk moved the project to SourceForge.net, the project was renamed PPCBoot, because SF.net did not allow project names starting with digits. In November 2002 the project was renamed again, when support had been extended beyond booting on PowerPCs.
