Description
In the README of bootimage, it says that a custom bootloader is supported, but reading the linked page does not really clear up what should be done to do this.
Should I fork locally the bootloader crate, do my modifications and use it in my Cargo.toml as this? If not how should it be done?
[dependencies.bootloader]
version = "*"
path = "../bootloader"
