I've been reading this wiki page:

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/AM335x_Flashing_Tools_Guide

and it states that the source code is found in the host-tools directory:

  • NAND flasher source should be available as part of AM335x release package under host-tools/src/nandflash-<version>.tar.gz

I have downloaded and installed the latest version of the ti-sdk for linux, specifically ti-sdk-am335x-evm-05.05.00.00

and in the host-tools directory there is only the pinmux utility. No NAND flash writer.

I have found a nand flash writer utility in the Windows Sitara starterware files, however, this starterware program produces different output to the one listed in the wiki. For example the wiki says we should see:

Application is successfully flashed NAND boot preparation was successful!

The starterware flash writer does not generate this output. It looks like these are two similar, but different, programs.

Where can I find the source for the flash writer referred to in the wiki? Is there some different file I should be downloading that also contains a host-tools directory, this time with the source for that flash writer? I'm wondering if perhaps I simply downloaded the wrong thing.

Thanks very much.
