Installation Instructions:
|
||||
--------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
1. Put the s2 switch into the following position:
|
||||
|
||||
1 0
|
||||
------
|
||||
|x |
|
||||
| x|
|
||||
|x |
|
||||
| X|
|
||||
------
|
||||
|
||||
2. Connect to the serial console and to the BDI. Power on. On the
|
||||
serial line, you should see:
|
||||
|
||||
PURPLE@1.2>
|
||||
|
||||
3. Type '8'. No echo will be displayed. In response, you should get:
|
||||
|
||||
7A(pass)
|
||||
|
||||
4. From BDI, enter command:
|
||||
|
||||
mmw 0xb800d860 0x0042c7ff
|
||||
|
||||
5. Then, from BDI:
|
||||
|
||||
erase 0xB0000000
|
||||
erase 0xB0008000
|
||||
erase 0xB000C000
|
||||
erase 0xB0010000
|
||||
erase 0xB0020000
|
||||
|
||||
prog 0xB0000000 <u-boot.bin> bin
|
||||
|
||||
6. Power off. Restore the original S2 switch position. Power on.
|
||||
U-Boot should come up.

Implementation Notes:
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Due to the RAM/flash bus arbitration problem the suggested workaround
|
||||
had to be implemented. It works okay. On the downside is that you
|
||||
can't really check whether 'erase' is complete by polling flash as it
|
||||
is usually done. Instead, the flash driver simply waits for a given
|
||||
time and assumes that erase then has passed. This behaviour is
|
||||
identical to what the VxWorks driver does; also, the same timeout (6
|
||||
seconds) was chosen. Note that this timeout applies for each errase
|
||||
operation, i. e. per erased sector.
