I was studying a book of control system where i read that a block diagram is a specialized high level type of flow chart
So what will be the difference between a normal flow chart and a block diagram?
I have tried searching Google for this confusion but no satisfactory answer

block diagram
noun: block diagram; plural noun: block diagrams
- a diagram showing in schematic form the general arrangement of the parts or components of a complex system or process, such as an industrial apparatus or an electronic circuit.
flow chart
noun: flow chart; plural noun: flow charts; noun: flowchart; plural noun: flowcharts; noun: flow diagram; plural noun: flow diagrams
- a diagram of the sequence of movements or actions of people or things involved in a complex system or activity.
- a graphical representation of a computer program in relation to its sequence of functions (as distinct from the data it processes).
Figure 1. A sample block diagram of a computer. Source: [Code Cracker}(https://codescracker.com/computer-fundamental/block-diagram-of-computer.htm).
Note that while this gives a representation of the structure of a computer it gives no idea of program or firmware flow.

The boot-loader flowchart explains a sequence but gives no idea of the structure of the device.
