11 years agoThanks, and how to get baremetal.bin from my baremetal.axf ?
Hardly keys "-a 0x01000000 -e 0x01000000" may work -- offsets of DDR3, in flash if 02000000 and 60000. I don`t have Linux, git and other s-h-i-t (sorry :) to dig up sources of u-boot from Yokto for recipe of getting its image to put to flash, however want on Windows 7 fast program example application Altera-SoCFPGA-HardwareLib-FPGA-CV-GNU from EDS, repower board -- and LEDs blinking! Best way from stupid users may be button in DS-5 "Program current .axf to jumpers selected current flash device, with offset in project settings" -- for Windows users, loving comfort and respectful to myself treatment. Slightly worse may be 10 pages in ug_soc_eds.pdf, where with pictures and command line options described full way of convert/program my .axf. However already 3 weeks while I cycling all documentation from Altera, Mentor, RocketBoards ets... and found nothing worth -- horror! :) Our firm must be create board with CV and not necessarily with SD, MBR, partitions, u-boot and Linux! Exist simple way to program 4 items of 64K-preloader to QSPI to addresses 0..40000 and my .axf to default 60000, possible .rbf to 600000 ? I very hate complicated ways, and to me sell its continuously and hide best behind huge Linux and RTOS ! :) Also good way is have one configurable pin in FPGA, through which ARM will load from custom BootROM in external direct reading flash from address 10000, just after its current internal BootROM, unrestricted from current complex-stupid puzzling architecture :) And on boot-wathdog automatic loads from 110000, 210000, 310000, 410000, 510000 and more any amount in all adress space with up round... And sources of this preloader10000 may be open, then will be hapiness ! Regardless to Bosses :) Worst of all, that my application not start in DS-5 debugger with jumpers at mentioned for QSPI-boot: J28 right shorted, J29 left shorted, J30 left shorted.
