CONFIG_MULTIBOOT

Generate multiboot header

Type: bool

Help

Embed a multiboot header in the output executable. This is used
by some boot loaders (e.g., GRUB) when loading Zephyr. It is safe
to leave this option on if you're not sure. It only expands the
text segment by 12-16 bytes and is typically ignored if not needed.
