Flashing Evaluation BF537-EZKit Lite with uboot & kernel image

Hi,

I am new to the forum and currently there are several questions running in my mind. 

I am able to successfully get the BF537-EZkit up with the help of Visual DSP5.0 and run the example codes on the same. I have run the example flash programing on the kit and able to boot up the kit without running the Visual DSP5.0.

Now, I have few question or doubts, request you to kindly address the same.

  Followed the steps in https://blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=bootloaders:u-boot:compiling  for compiling the uboot for BF537. 

1. What is the difference between make bf537-stamp, bf537-mintaur, bf537-pnav and bf537-srv1.

2. Which command should be used to build uboot for evaluation kit and for the bare bf537 processor.

Regards,

Tejaswi

  • Hi Tejaswi,

    For UART boot, after switching to position 7, and reset, you are not supposed to see meaningful output on the console, instead, you are suppose to download u-boot from this UART port, as described by the document. After the downloading through UART is done, u-boot will get run and you start to get output on console.

    Thanks
