[U-Boot-Users] Detailed documents......
Hi All, I am fresh engineer in this field working with DM6446 EVM DAVINCI board which contains DSP as well ARMEJ9. I need to bring that board up. I don't have any experience of how to load the boot loader, how the things goes after boot loader get loaded, so and so. I am working by reading all the document in u-boot source tree and going through the code of u-boot-1.1.3. So can anybody help me to provide document kind of material that gives step wise DETAIL of all the steps starting from boot loader installation to running kernel. such that it helps me to make my task ease. I am going to download the boot loader file through UART to internal RAM of ARM. Because I am confused that how to write the image in NAND FLASH, thats why I am using the other option and that is to download the boot image from UART where one host utility will be runing on the host PC that does few handshaking with board's primary boot loader and than downloads secondry boot loader from the host PC.
Thanks, Mehul Gohel

Why are you starting with OLD code? Please use the top of tree from the git repository instead!

You should really start reading the FAQ.

well sorry for posting mail in HTML, I've started compiling uboot and at the first instant I am getting error something like
[root@localhost u-boot-1.1.3]# make davinci_config Configuring for davinci board...

Did I went wrong any where, I've not touched anything else not any configuration parameter or anything,.

I understand this is your custom board configuration, right?
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/mehulgohel/u-boot-1.1.3/post/cpu' make[1]: *** No rule to make target `asm.S', needed by `.depend'. Stop.
This message is clear: the file "asm.S" in directory "post/cpu" is needed, but cannot be found. Seems your source code is incomplete.
Did I went wrong any where, I've not touched anything else not any configuration parameter or anything,.
Obviously this is not a complete source code tree.
And, for the last time (I will not repeat this): don't use old versions for current work. Please use the top-of-tree version from the git repository instead.
