I was looking for boot loader for Intel Atom N450 (PineView-M) processor. I found some references about boot loader development kit(BLDK), but could not get any information about it as it is proprietory. I want to know if I can develop boot strap code and boot loader both using this development kit. How is this development kit is used?

See the
Bootloader wiki page on what you really need. There's no point in using a proprietary bootloader when there are tons of good free and open source alternatives.
Also,
did you lose your password?

I'm fairly interested in Intel's new architecture too. The idea of a special (non-PC compatible) architecture, designed by Intel using 80x86 (Atom) chips for small/mobile devices; and the new
"Simple Firmware Interface" are all very interesting.
I haven't looked very hard so far, but unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much real information available yet.
Cheers,
