AM5728: NOR image generation

Srinivasa Reddy Dasari

Part Number: AM5728

Hi,

I'am using TI AM5728 IDK, P/N: 296-46780-ND kit with Linux SDK ver:05.03.00.07(i.e ti-processor-sdk-linux-am57xx-evm-05.03.00.07-Linux-x86-Install.bin).

I want to build the SDK for NOR image.

1. How to enable the NOR build

2. where to specify the NOR Flash Image Layout. It should have sections like: Uboot, Kernel, RootFs, Application.

3. How to define the flash section for Application in the NOR.

4.Which linker scatter file I've to update for sections.

5. please specify the location of static libraries, .so files, .KO(kernel objects), exe files. simple example Makefile.

Thanks and Regards

Hello,

If this is a parallel NOR connected to the GPMC bus, I'm sorry, but we don't have any examples to point you to as this is not a supported configuration on our EVMs.

If this is a SPI or QSPI NOR, you can refer to our AM57xx IDK as an example.

Thank you for your post.

Srinivasa,

First, I would make sure you've found our QSPI U-Boot documentation here:

http://software-dl.ti.com/processor-sdk-linux/esd/docs/06_00_00_07/linux/Foundational_Components_U-Boot.html#qspi

The Flash Partitions are in the appropriate DTB files. For example, for U-Boot for the AM57xx IDK, you can find the definitions in arch/arm/dts/am57xx-idk-common.dtsi. There will also be definitions for the Linux kernel in that DTS file, and they should match.

I hope this provides what you need. Thank you.
