"Config header" will be something like the attached infinisource-lpc4357.h file that I included. Just create a new file with a name for your board in the same directory as mentioned below. The file needs to be modified for your desired features and board requirements.

I have the schematic of the onboard with all specified ports and I can modify the "board.c" file with my settings and also my hex file. However, the "config header", how can I create it ?

The following example assumes that the QSPI flash is attached to the following pins (but it's relatively easy to change): * CS attached to P3.8 * CLK attached to P3.3 * MOSI attached to P3.7 * MISO attached to P3.6 * IO2 attached to P3.5 * IO3 attached to P3.4 Also, you need to confirm how to set the processor to boot from USB0 and from internal flash. Without the schematic I can't tell you specifically, how that's done on that board. But for now, set it to USB0 mode. In u-boot you'll need to create a new board config, folder, config header, and board.c file. The board.c configures all the I/O, RAM and other peripherals needed for u-boot to run. I've attached a copy of ours to give you an idea what needs to be added. I also attached our header file as an example, and that needs to be placed in the include/configs folder. You'll definitely need to make changes to both to get things working for your particular hardware. Once you compile your new configuration, you'll need to take the u-boot.bin and program it into the internal flash using DFUSec (which can be found at lpcware.com). Then power off the board, switch to internal flash boot mode, and power it up. If you've configured everything correctly, you should see a console via the UART. Feel free to ask more specific questions as you go through this process.

It is best to follow the steps that you follow, at least be sure it works. I've never managed to get anything via USB port, I could not advance so much. I tried to find other variants, but also without success. With other real-time operating systems I have worked with my microcontolador, LPC4357, but I really want to install uClinux, due to all of the advantages, as you well know.

We use QSPI flash for the Linux image. After u-boot configures the external SDRAM, Linux gets loaded into it, and then uncompressed and booted. To do this required some modifications to u-boot from the Emcraft source. I believe their standard build is made to load u-boot from external NOR flash (they used the LPC4350) into SRAM. It then configures the SDRAM and loads Linux from external NOR flash into SDRAM before uncompressing and booting. Are you getting to the u-boot console? If not, confirm that your boot options are set for they location you're trying to boot from. That would be the first thing to check. If you're getting there, you probably need to modify the SDRAM settings in u-boot to your specific board memory specifications. If you can clarify where you are getting stuck, I may be able to provide more help.

But I have not been successful. You could especificarme exactly the easiest way to boot the OS, uClinux. I mean, how I can use that image save and where. So far I've tried to boot from external memory, from internal flash and through UART, unsuccessfully all options. I'm not sure if I did it correctly though. The kerlnel is compiled correctly without errors, according with my hardware.

I have to say that I have previously worked with embedded linux, and in this project I managed properly configure and compile the kernel. However I am not able to boot uClinux. I think the easiest way is to load the u-boot directly to the RAM, because I had problems when I tried to boot the OS from iflash, flash, spiflah, emc8, emc16 or emc32. All opinions interest me to try to solve the problem. In principle I would like to boot into core Cortex-M4 and Cortex-M0 in'll try to install another OS more primitive. Thanks in advance!
