BfUboot

intro

these are my notes from playing with the BF537 EZKIT LITE. Mostly this is for me to remember what I had to do to get U-Boot up and running (see the docs - they are very good but you may have to hunt around a bit)

• bf537-uboot.bin: 2006R2-RC5 uboot binary for the BF537 STAMP/EZKIT

gotchas

• Boot device selector should be set to 0 - Execute from 16-bit external memory
  • This is where uboot is stored and thus that is where the bf should look for the bootloader
• Be sure that JP9 is not jumpered (DB9 loopback jumper)
• Be sure that SW4 is all ON
• See BfJtag for jtag setup
• Communication settings for uboot are 57600 8N1 and no HW/SW flow control

• Uboot and compressed images (uImage)

notes

• see the docs for more details
• see #blackfin on irc.freenode.net for me
