It is a little tricky to flash the filesystem through JTAG, since you have to 
take care of sparebytes (OOB, ECC) and bad blocks. Also how do you plan to come 
up with an actual filesystem image (e.g. YAFFS2) ? I do not think mkfs.xxxx 
utilities are “bad block” aware. There may also be issues with sparebytes.

We first boot the kernel with ramdisk and then populate the filesystem (a tar 
ball) on NAND using mount and “tar xf” commands.

Thanks

I don’t want to use comands on terminal, I want to load my file system to my 
board via jtag, Is it possible? I want to load ubl-uboot-and file system to 
nand flash via jtag. I want to speed up our production process . What is the 
fastest way for Flashing nand flash?

Unfortunately there is no empty place on uarts on our dm355 uart0 is using for 
communicating with a mcu on our board , Uart1 is going to use for communicating 
for GPS kit, so I have to use Jtag for it.

Once you have ubl and u-boot on your board, you can use uboot to write the 
oterh things you need.  Just use tftpboot from uboot to download your files 
into memory and do a nand clean + nand write.

Hi All,

I have some empty nand flashes. I want to burn them and add my 
uImage,uboot,ubl, and File system. I googled and figure out that there is a way 
for serial port but on my board there is no rs 232. My board only have JTAG. I 
wonder that , I can write ubl and uboot to empty flashes via xds 510  and CCS 
3.3 but what about filesystem? How may I add it to nand flash? On serial 
production It is very difficult to use serial port and some commands which is 
described on getting started guide for dm355. I have bought also peedi, for 
nand flash programming but it is not supporting dm355 I couldn’t use it. I want 
to burn my new flashes with xds510, Is it possible?
