RedBoot uses either of the serial ports. The default serial port settings are 38400,8,N,1. Management of onboard flash is also supported.
The following RedBoot configurations are supported:
Device programmer is used to program socketed flash parts with ROM version of RedBoot.
Alternatively, to install RedBoot on a target that already has eCos GDB stubs, download the RAM mode image of RedBoot and run it. Initialize the flash image directory: fis init Then download the ROM version of RedBoot and program it into flash:
RedBoot> load -b %{FREEMEMLO} -m ymodem
RedBoot> fi cr RedBoot |
RedBoot sets up the following memory map on the PID board.
Physical Address Range Description ----------------------- ----------- 0x00000000 - 0x0007ffff DRAM 0x04000000 - 0x04080000 flash 0x08000000 - 0x09ffffff ASB Expansion 0x0a000000 - 0x0bffffff APB Reference Peripheral 0x0c000000 - 0x0fffffff NISA Serial, Parallel and PC Card ports |
These shell variables provide the platform-specific information needed for building RedBoot according to the procedure described in Chapter 3:
export TARGET=pid export ARCH_DIR=arm export PLATFORM_DIR=pid |
The names of configuration files are listed above with the description of the associated modes.
