AM4378: BOOTP

Part Number: AM4378

My board uses the porz pin on the AM4378 (I think, I'm no EE and can't find a schematic) to indicate whether the board should BOOTP (an internal feature) or not.  It's a jumper I set on the board.   What I'd like to do is have UBoot check to see if this pin is enabled.  If so, I can TFTP the image over per normal but then run a special app afterwards-- otherwise I'd just boot normally from NAND.

There doesn't seem to be a GPIO that I can look at to see if the BOOTP pin is enabled or not--- or is there?  I'm thinking it must be some kind of memory mapped register but I didn't find anything like that in the documentation.  Anyone have any recommendations?  Is this purely a hardware "thang" and I'm SOL?

  • Hi Bryan, are you sure you got the right pin?  porz is the reset to the device, and doesn't have any alternate function, so you could not use it as a GPIO.  What device pin is your jumper connected to?

    Typically you would connected to the jumper to a pin that you can mux as a GPIO (this is done with one of the associated pinmux registers for that pin), then software could read that pin as hi or lo and take the appropriate actions.
