OMAP L137 - U-Boot Copy

No, U-Boot is not AIS, it is an executable monolithic binary with a single section. Thats why it can be copied byte to byte without any parsing.

Yes, that's right, just figured it out.

I'm just wondering, I see in ARM ubl that it reads a header of this binary. Is there a header in every binary ?

I won't be using u-boot but a project I'll have compiled with CCSv4 and then used hex470.exe to make it a binary. Will the binary contain such a header with entry point, app size ... ?

Maxime

The header is added by the flashing utility, either CCS or the serial flashing tool. The binary itself does not have this header and it is added during the flashing process.

I'm wondering, is ARM ubl of any use ? 

I mean, I can do every initialisation with DSP UBL, then copy ARM code and DSP code at their respective location ... That wouldn't cause any trouble, would it ?

What is the advantages of having an ARM UBL ? Does the DSP have any limitation ?

No there is really no point to have an ARM UBL. You can initialize everything in the DSP UBL.
