about arm boot up

Note: This was originally posted on 25th July 2012 at http://forums.arm.com

I am coding on a bare computer, and I want to know the process to boot up an arm core. Such as set smp mode, init stack, and so on.
Could anyone provide me some reference or some guide?

Thanks.

    Which ARM core/processor you are trying to boot-up?
    Depending on the ARM core version, you can decie about SMP/AMP is supported or not.
    Multicore/Multiprocessing is supported in Cortex-A processor series.

    Depending on the Processor and your board architecture, we can do the following during bootup:
    Booting Stages. (Single Stage or Multi Stage)
    Memory Map
    Exception/Vector Table configuration.
    Exception Handler Stack initialization
    HW initialization (Memory config etc...)
    OS initialization (if used)
    Tasks
