Amandeep Bhullar sez,
I have an Atmel AT91SAM9263 evaluation board with an arm926ejs based processor. I want to configure U-boot for this and want to have a USB device boot option available too. Though the U-boot will be in NAND Flash but i want the board to boot from a USB device like a USB Flash drive etc.
Sounds like an adventure!
I was reading the README and it talks about configuring a large number of options. Where do I define these options? In which file?
For your board the file with many of the defines is.
include\configs\at91sam9263ek.h
if i just give the command $ make arm926ejs_config if comes with a message make: *** No rule to make target 'arm926ejs_config'. Stop.
You need to type, make at91sam9263ek_config make
Also it's a good idea to have the environment variable
CROSS_COMPILE
Set to point to your tool chain, as in
CROSS_COMPILE=\opt\mytoolchaintool\arm-elf-
where the directory
\opt\mytoolchaintool\
Contains your tools, such as arm-elf-gcc etc etc.
Can anybody help me in how to obtain a .bin file for my processor that i can load in NANDFlash and use this U-boot.
Can't help there, don't know if it's possible. I do know that you can boot out of NOR (parallel) and Atmel Dataflash (Serial). I would suggest building the standard u-boot and learn how it works and then go from there.
