explanation of boot loader vs ROM
 
Hey all,

I have searched through the forums and I'm still a little confused with the difference between the boot loader and ROM. Can someone give me a brief explanation on what exactly each is and what their function is?
Thanks in advance...

bootloader is like the bios on your computer, and the rom is like a read only hard drive. the weird part is that you have to get into bootloader mode before you can update the rom (Mostly because we have hacked tools to do so.)
