I am a new user of U-boot and Linux. Please bear with me. I have Atmel AT91SAM9263-EK (ARM based) and have U-boot 1.3.4 running on it. Currently U-boot, Linux Kernel and jffs2 root filesystem, all are in NAND flash and work fine. We need to boot the evaluation kit from SD Card.
U-Boot 1.3.4 is well over a year old. Please do yourself (and us) a favour and update. There is little general interest if feature X is working or available in such ancient versions. Please use current code instead.
Thanks for your reply. As suggested, I have downloaded version 2009.08 and built it like this (please tell me if thats correct)
# make at91sam9263ek_config ... with environment variable in SPI DATAFLASH CS0 Configuring for at91sam9263ek board... # make all CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-
I do have u-boot.bin now. My next questions are: 1. Can I just rename it boot.bin and put it in the root folder of SD card and try to use it on the board? I am confused by the message after make at91sam9263ek_config command. Does it mean it can be used only with Dataflash card or I can use it in SD card too.
2. I am using bootstrap from Atmel's http://www.at91.com/linux4sam/bin/view/Linux4SAM/AT91Bootstrap . The bootstraps are only available for DataFlash and Nand Flash. Please advise, which bootstrap do I use to have bootstrap and U-boot on SD Card only.
Thanks for your help, friends.
