Abstract

A method for booting up an embedded system that can be booted up in a normal booting up mode or an exterior driver booting up mode. The method includes steps of powering up the embedded system and detecting whether there is an exterior driver. If there is an exterior driver, then it is determined whether there is a booting up module in the exterior driver. If there is a booting up module, then it is determined whether there is a chip setting sub-module in the exterior driver. If there is a chip setting sub-module in the exterior driver, then booting up images are displayed.
