L138: Questions on flash writer

Kiung Chung Wong
Expert 2110 points

Hi,

I am using LogicPD eXperimenter Kit. From the link, there are 2 ways to flash images into the SPI flash, ie serial flasher and spi flash writer.

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/GSG:_OMAP-L138_DVEVM_Additional_Procedures

We will have custom hardware eventually which will have NOR flash connected to EMIFA.

Questions:

(1) Is there a serial flasher for NOR flash as well ? It is not mentioned in the link, just wnat to confirm that.

(2) The nor flash writer provided, is it meant only to be used for EVM ? Or it can be used with the custom design with different NOR flash ?

DaVinci-PSP-SDK-03.20.00.14/src/utils/nor-flash-writer-03.20.00.14 

(3) If it is not meant to support all the different flash parts, I believe I can base on this code to make modification according to the custome design. Would like to understand from TI, what are the details that I should pay attention when doing this modification ?

rgds,

kc Wong

    Hi,

    I have followed the steps described in this link, and try to rebuild the spi flash writer for OAMP L138.

    http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/GSG:_Building_Software_Components_for_OMAP-L1/AM1x#Rebuilding_the_SPI_Flash_writer

    But, I have the below build error, not sure what does that mean. I have looked into the folder, libc.a is there...

    rgds,
