---------------------------------------- Booting from On-Chip ROM (eSDHC or eSPI) ---------------------------------------- boot_format is a tool to write SD bootable images to a filesystem and build SD/SPI images to a binary file for writing later. When booting from an SD card/MMC, boot_format puts the configuration file and the RAM-based U-Boot image on the card. When booting from an EEPROM, boot_format generates a binary image that is used to boot from this EEPROM. Where to get boot_format: ======================== you can browse it online at: http://git.freescale.com/git/cgit.cgi/ppc/sdk/boot-format.git/ Building ======== Run the following to build this project $ make Execution ========= boot_format runs under a regular Linux machine and requires a super user mode to run. Execute boot_format as follows. For building SD images by writing directly to a file system on SD media: $ boot_format $config u-boot.bin -sd $device Where $config is the included config.dat file for your platform and $device is the target block device for the SD media on your computer. For build binary images directly a local file: $ boot_format $config u-boot.bin -spi $file Where $file is the target file. Also keep in mind the u-boot.bin file needs to be the u-boot built for your particular platform and target media. Example: To generate a u-boot.bin for a P1022DS booting from SD, run the following in the u-boot repository: $ make P1022DS_SDCARD Configuration Files =================== Below are the configuration files to be used with a particular platform. Keep in mind that some of these config files are tied to the platforms DDR speed. Please see the SoC reference manual for more documentation.
