Hi,

For our custom board, based on AT91RM9200, we wants to use u-boot as a Linux bootloader. We do not want to use any commercial software and hardware tools to program it. We want to put the u-boot in the serial flash, connected to the controller on SPI.

I found a document (doc6067.pdf) from Atmel on how to load the u-boot to serial flash. It is a two step process, first load an application called 'romboot.bin' then load the u-boot. It seems 'romboot.bin' does preliminary set up, to load the u-boot image to serial flash. The 'romboot.bin' image is built for the Atmel board.

1. Can I get the sources of this 'romboot.bin' or of similar program, that can be built with GNU tools of ARM?

2. A Metrowerks project of 'romboot.bin' is available, but it uses some libraries (for example to have printf and scanf etc.) which are not included in the project. Is there any way I can compile it with GNU tools to make the complete application of 'romboot.bin'?

Thanks in advance.

regards, chandra
