    13 platform.</shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>

    14 <p>The bootstrap is a program that the phone runs after a hardware reset.

    15 The task of the bootstrap is to prepare a basic environment for the kernel

    16 to run. If the phone uses NAND Flash, then the NAND Flash Core Loader loads

    17 and starts the bootstrap.</p>

    18 <p>Symbian platform divides the bootstrap into a platform-independent layer

    19 that can be used with any ARM device, and a platform-specific layer that you

    20 must implement when you create a new phone. </p>
