File: README.COBRA5272 Author: Florian Schlote for Sentec elektronik (linux@sentec-elektronik.de) Contents: This is the README of u-boot (Universal bootloader) for our COBRA5272 board. Version: v01.00 Date: Tue Mar 30 00:28:33 CEST 2004 License: This document is published under the GNU GPL ______________________________________________________________________ CHANGES 040330 v01.00 Creation ______________________________________________________________________ CONFIGURING ----------- 1. Modify include/configs/cobra5272.h acc. to your prefs 2. If necessary, modify board/cobra5272/config.mk (see below) 3. > make cobra5272_config > make Please refer to u-boot README (general info, u-boot-x-x-x/README), to u-boot-x-x-x/board/cobra5272/README and to the comments in u-boot-x-x-x/include/configs/cobra5272.h Configuring u-boot is done by commenting/uncommenting preprocessor defines. Default configuration is FLASH version (for further info see subsection below) link address 0xffe00000 16 MB RAM network enabled no default IP address for target, host set, no MACaddress set bootdelay for autoboot 5 sec. autoboot disabled #----------------------------------- # u-boot FLASH version & RAM version #----------------------------------- The u-boot bootloader for Coldfire processors can be configured 1. as a standalone bootloader residing in flash & relocating itself to RAM on startup automatically => "FLASH version" 2. as a RAM version which will not load from flash automatically as it needs a prestage bootloader ("chainloading") & is running only from the RAM address it is linked to => "RAM version" This version may be very helpful when installing u-boot for the first time since it can be used to make available s. th. like a "bootstrap mechanism". How to build the different images: ------------------------------ Flash version ------------------------------ Compile u-boot in dir ./u-boot-x-x-x/ please first check: in ./configs/cobra5272_defconfig CONFIG_MONITOR_IS_IN_RAM has to be not present in the file => u-boot as single bootloader starting from flash in configs/cobra5272_defconfig CONFIG_TEXT_BASE should be CONFIG_TEXT_BASE=0xffe00000 => linking address for u-boot as single bootloader stored in flash then: host> make cobra5272_config rm -f include/config.h include/config.mk Configuring for cobra5272 board... host> make [...] host> cp u-boot.bin /tftpboot/u-boot_flash.bin ------------------------------ RAM version ------------------------------ in dir ./u-boot-x-x-x/ host> make distclean please modify the settings: in ./configs/cobra5272_defconfig CONFIG_MONITOR_IS_IN_RAM now has to be enabled, e. g. as follows: CONFIG_MONITOR_IS_IN_RAM=y => u-boot as RAM version, chainloaded by another bootloader or using bdm cable in configs/cobra5272_defconfig CONFIG_TEXT_BASE should be CONFIG_TEXT_BASE=0x00020000 => target linking address for RAM then: host> make cobra5272_config rm -f include/config.h include/config.mk Configuring for cobra5272 board... host> make [...] host> cp u-boot.bin /tftpboot/u-boot_ram.bin ---- HINT ---- If the m68k-elf-toolchain & the m68k-bdm-gdb is installed you can run the RAM version by typing (in dir ./u-boot-x-x-x/) "board/cobra5272/bdm/load-cobra_uboot" , in ./u-boot-x-x-x/ the RAM version u-boot (elf format) has to be available.
