@ -112,6 +112,25 @@ uflash writes the AIS image at offset 117. For compatibility with uflash,
CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_SECTOR is set to take into account this
offset, and the dd command is adjusted accordingly.
Flashing the images to NOR
==========================
NOR Flash is XIP (execute-in-place), so no AIS (or SPL) is needed. The
u-boot.bin is directy flashed, but CONFIT_DA850_LOWLEVEL must be set
to initialize hardware that's normally done by SPL.
For this case, CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE=0x60000000 which is the address to
which the bootloader jumps when powered on.
Example:
For the da850evm, there is a defconfig setup to use the NOR flash on
the UI expander board called da850evm_direct_nor_defconfig.
Flash to NOR directly using
sudo mono ./sfh_OMAP-L138.exe -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -flash_noubl
-flashType NOR u-boot.bin
SW7:5 through SW7:7 should be switched on and all others off.
