hi all
1. What is the relationship between the preloader and the normal configure file(jic & pof(both hw and fw)? 2. Is there some documents to introduce this problem? Thanks Sunnyhi all
1. What is the relationship between the preloader and the normal configure file(jic & pof(both hw and fw)? 2. Is there some documents to introduce this problem? Thanks SunnyThe preloader is usually used to load u-boot.
You can find a pretty good description of the boot process at: http://xillybus.com/tutorials/u-boot-image-altera-socis a wide topic, but I guess you able to get some detail from
http://rocketboards.org/foswiki/view/documentation/webhomeit is totally different stuff as the preloader or uboot is for the arm MCU power up required files, where the POF file you mention is more at FGPA purpose.
what are you trying to design actually?
