Andrew, Thanks for the response. $> Tried that. But then it had used flash addresses to run $platform_setup $> And executing this code by downloading failed. $ $Yes, this is what you would expect. It is a ROM image after all!
:-( $ $> Also, I do not have any tool to flash the image to flash(am using $> multi-ice $ $Then i suggest you do get a flash programmer. $ Any pointers on the flash programmer that can be used for ixp425 with strataflash?. $You have the normal chicken/egg problem. In order to get $software into the flash you need software running on the $board. In order to get software running on the board you need $something in flash. Using a flash programmer side steps this problem. $ $The other option is to get your multi-ice to setup the RAM in $the same way that a ROM application does when it starts up. $You then need a RAM application with built in stubs and you $might have something that runs. The multi-ice does not come with a user friendly front end for doing this. I have tried configuring it for clock trigger etc., that's all. But then I will still have to know on the 'things to do' or 'things redboot does' in ixp425 intialization sequence to move it to Multi-ice. The 'Intel Xscale IXP42X developers manual' and 'intel-xscale-core-developers-manual' am refering right now does not have any specifics on bootup. $> Finally it would not be a good idea to do bsp porting by $flashing the $> test images?. $ $Why not? A lot will depend on how fast your flash programmer $is. If it takes 20 minutes than no, it is probably not $practical. If it takes 1 minute than it is not a problem. Yeah. You are right. $ $I've helped with a port to the AT91SAM7S which i flashed every image. $ $ Andrew $ -- Before posting, please read the FAQ: http://ecos.sourceware.org/fom/ecos and search the list archive: http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss
