    Akshay,

    you need to provide a lot more info if you want anyone to help you.

    Are your problems with Sitaraware or what tool are you using for flashing? What board do you use?

    Can you post the error messages?

    Regards.

    Hi,

              My processor is based on TI's AM1808 with 128MB DDR2 and 128MB NAND flash and 512KB of serial flash. serial flash is connected on SPI1.

    my cross compiler is arm-none-linux-gnueabi- (Code Sourcerary) i am trying to flash the SPI using uboot. i don't have any flashing tool. if there please recommend

    and also the download link. and also suggest a program with basic features like an image display, uart, ethernet etc. which would not exceed 500KB  upon which i could work.

    Regards,

    Akshay.

    I suggest you check the TI product folder for AM1808 which has a link to the Linux SDK.

    Additionally there is a wiki for flash tools.

    This includes SPI writer mode. You might have to adapt to your hardware but you get all the sources.

    Regards.

    Hi,
    Here is tool for flashing
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/dvflashutils/files/OMAP-L138/v2.30/OMAP-L138_FlashAndBootUtils_2_30.tar.gz/download which  supports AM1808, on downloading you can go into GNU folder and run following command,

    (on linux) mono sfh_OMAP-L138.exe  for more details.
