It can also be used for fairly extensive -hardware debugging as you can read and write to any memory addresses, -including the ETRAX100 registers. You can also perform memory checks -and dumps and copy data to flash memories.</p> -<p>The first packet (or the first 784 bytes in the case of serial boot) -sent to Etrax100 is loaded into the cache. The code in this packet is -executed and loads the rest of the boot loader into the cache. The -cache is the only thing we can be sure of exists on all ETRAX100 -products, so the boot loader is limited to the size of the cache, -8KB. If further boot loading code is needed you have to set up -external memory and load another boot loader into it, but this is -rarely needed.</p> -<p>Two programs are involved in this boot loading, one is the program on -your workstation that sends the packets to ETRAX100, this is called -the server boot loader or SBL. The other program is the one in -ETRAX100 that receives packets from the SBL and acts upon the data -therein, this is called the client boot loader or CBL.</p> -<p>We don't want to edit and recompile the CBL each time we want to load -level two to different parts of memory, like we do on different -products. We also want to change things like the setup of external -memory before we load data into it. To make the boot loading as -flexible as possible and separate the CBL from level two we send a -configuration packet to it. After this packet we load other files, if -we want to.</p> -<p>The configuration packet can contain information to the CBL which lets -you: initialize external memory, read and write to all ETRAX100 -registers, read and write to any part of memory, load as many other -files as you like to any part of memory you like, etc. The -configuration packet is generated on the fly by the SBL.</p> -<p>Since the CBL is unaware of which product it will be loaded on, it -doesn't do product specific initialization like setting up the -memory. This must be done with the configuration packet.</p> -<p> -</p> -<h2><a name="debugging_printout">Debugging printout</a></h2> -<p>When doing network boot the debugging printout from the CBL in ETRAX -is transmitted back over the network and printed by e100boot. When -doing serial boot that interface will be used. So in either case you -will not need any other software or hardware to receive the debugging -printout.</p> -<p> -</p> -<h2><a name="creating_binaries">Creating binaries</a></h2> -<p>The files containing code to be loaded on the ETRAX100 must be -stripped using the standard GCC binutils.</p> -<p> -</p> -<h2><a name="how_it_works__things_you_don_t_want_to_know_">How it works, things you don't want to know.</a></h2> -<p>ack, timeout bla, bla... RTFS.</p> -<p> -</p> -<h2><a name="compilation_and_code">Compilation and code</a></h2> -<p>Noteworthy is that two separate ETRAX100 binaries are created, one for -network boot and one for serial boot. They actually contain exactly -the same code, but linked in different order. This is because the code -to load the rest of the bootloader over a specific interface must be -contained in the first data sent to the ETRAX100 and it is too -difficult to cram the code for both interfaces in the beginning of the -same binary. Hence two files.</p> -<p>Other stuff you don't want to know is that the cache is mapped from -0x380000f0 to 0x380020f0. Code starts at the first address followed by -data up to the symbol <em>Ebss</em>. At the other end is the buffer for boot -commands (addresses defined by <em>IO_BUF_START</em> and <em>IO_BUF_END</em> below -which the stack lies and hopefully the stack and <em>Ebss</em> will never -meet...</p> -<p>The serial data is loaded from 0x380000f0 to 0x380003ff before -execution starts.</p> -<p> -</p> -<hr /> -<h1><a name="options">OPTIONS</a></h1> -<p>The options are done in the order specified on the command line, so -you probably want to do any memory setup before loading a file to the -memory, and you probably do not want to perform a memory test after -you have loaded a file to that memory.</p> -<p>All addresses and sizes must be in hex with optional '0x' prefix, or a -ETRAX100 register name. Since the <strong>--setreg</strong> and <strong>--getreg</strong> options -only can be performed on dword aligned dwords only the registers that -conform to this can be named.</p> -<p>Note also that all addresses must be in uncached memory (bit 31 set), -as the bootloader lies in the cache. If you access any uncached -address during boot, the bootloader will be destroyed without warning.</p> -<p>It is also possible to specify an address as <em>+address</em>, in which -case it is considered to be relative to <em>IO_BUF_START</em>. This is -especially useful in combination with the <strong>--loop</strong> option below.</p> -<dl> -<dt><strong><a name="item__2d_2dbaudrate_baudrate"><strong>--baudrate</strong> <em>baudrate</em></a></strong> - -<dd> -<p>Set baudrate for files loaded after the boot loader.</p> -</dd> -</li> -<dt><strong><a name="item__2d_2dbootfile_filename"><strong>--bootfile</strong> <em>filename</em></a></strong> - -<dd> -<p>Which boot image to send to ETRAX instead of the default ones.</p> -</dd> -</li> -<dt><strong><a name="item__2d_2dcmdsonly"><strong>--cmdsonly</strong></a></strong> - -<dd> -<p>Write the commands to file e100boot.cmds.</p> -</dd> -</li> -<dt><strong><a name="item__2d_2ddevboard"><strong>--devboard</strong></a></strong> - -<dd> -<p>Sets registers for the developer board.</p> -</dd> -</li> -<dt><strong><a name="item__2d_2ddevice_devicename"><strong>--device</strong> <em>devicename</em></a></strong> - -<dd> -<p>Which device to send packets on.
