The WiiU has two processors -- an ARM core (inside the Latte, known as "[[Starbuck]]") and a PowerPC core ([[Espresso]]). The boot process starts on the ARM core, which eventually bootstraps the PPC.
The code components involved in the WiiU's boot process are, in order:
* (ARM) [[boot0]] A mask ROM which loads boot1 and verifies its SHA1 hash against that stored in [[Hardware/OTP|OTP]].
* (ARM) [[boot1]] Lives in the first block of NAND and loads the IOSU from the NAND filesystem.
* (ARM) [[IOSU]] The IOSU is the operating system running on the ARM core. It bootstraps the PPC to start the Cafe OS.
* (PPC) [[Cafe OS]] The Cafe OS is the operating system running on the PowerPC core.
