Hi Swami, Thanks for the info, please let me know the u-boot version where this feature is available. I am using 1.1.4 may be pretty old.
But in our custom board we have the USB port configured for device mode only with miniAB connector mounted. So I do not think so U-Boot can configure it as Host and use it for downloading :( Any ways in Linux from PC? Thanks and Regards, Nitin Joshi ________________________________ From: Subbrathnam, Swaminathan [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2009 4:23 PM To: Nitin Joshi; [email protected] Subject: RE: Kernel and FS download through USB to EVM/custom board's NOR flash Nitin, DaVinci USB support has been added recently to U-Boot. You could build a new U-Boot with USB support enabled. With this support you can access USB Sticks/HDD directly from U-Boot. You can copy the respective Kernel, file system images from the USB Stick. This I think will significantly expedite your development process.

The serial download which I am doing it now for kernel and Ramdisk is taking around 20 min. Method I am following is loadb(via Kermit) followed by cp.b to NOR via HyperTerminal. So, I just thought some USB tool is already available to download (to NOR) from Linux. Please let us know, Is there any other way from U-Boot/Linux for faster downloading Thanks and Regards, Nitin Joshi ________________________________ From: Subbrathnam, Swaminathan [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2009 3:12 PM To: Nitin Joshi; [email protected] Subject: RE: Kernel and FS download through USB to EVM/custom board's NOR flash Nitin, Were you would want this functionality Linux/U-Boot ?

Is there any way to do that? I am doing it through serial port as we do not have an Ethernet port on our custom board. Other details: - Board is based on DM6446 Please let me know if there is any way to download through USB Thanks and Regards, Nitin Joshi ________________________________ http://www.mindtree.com/email/disclaimer.html ________________________________ http://www.mindtree.com/email/disclaimer.html ________________________________ http://www.mindtree.com/email/disclaimer.html
