I don't know if this has been linked in another section or something but in order to build the linux kernel as a uImage you have to build u-boot first and add the u-boot tools dir to your path since it uses the mkimage file created there. love this wiki though!

Fix: When rebuilding the u-boot for OMAP-L138, ARM development, its: make da850_omapl138_evm_config NOT as stated make da850_omapl138_defconfig

Hi,

This is great that you guys provide a nice, easy way to write images to the NAND flash using the nand flash writer. However, once in production, my guess is many people who have designed in your OMAP have their device on a network and in order to install new images, simply want to 'scp' images to it. Is the image flashed to the NAND a jffs2 file system, or one that supports coping images to in using 'scp' from another network device?

This information would be very helpful.

Thank you..

The link to "OMAP-L1x8 Bootloader Application Report" appears to be broken. Where can I get the AIS file format generator tool? I gather this is called "AISgen for xxx", where xxx is something like D800K001 or D800K002. What is the significance of this code?

Bgoetz, Wondering if you ever found an answer to your question. I've been investigating (with little success) getting xinetd to run on the EVM to allow FTP onto the board.

For you guys that have technical questions, you probably want to also post them at http://e2e.ti.com. The comments here are typically viewed when a page is being updated, but they are not actively monitored as a support channel.

When viewing this nice GSG as PDF, the long lines are cropped if they do not contain spaces, eg. the end of the new path is missing in the section "Preparing your Environment".

There's a bug in the project file for "Rebuilding the ARM Side User Boot Loader" OMAP-Lxx CCS4: The post-compile step needs a bunch of quotes to enclose all the pathnames, else it will fail as the default installation pathname, for one, has a space in it. I guess TI didn't test this project before releasing it publicly.

Go to your eclipse project properties, build steps, and replace the post-compile line with (all one line):

"${TMS470_CG_ROOT}\bin\hex470.exe" "${PROJECT_ROOT}\..\..\ubl2bin.cmd" -o "${PROJECT_ROOT}\ubl-spi.bin" "${PROJECT_ROOT}\ubl-spi.out"
