Booting from USB...how to create an option to do so...

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320C5515

Since booting from USB is not a built in option of the 5505/5515 ROM code, the idea was proposed to create a 2ndary boot loader.

Any thoughts on whether this is possible?

The following questions follow as well:

Is a memory map available for the C5515/C5505 on-chip bootloader?

Is source code available for the C5515/C5505 on-chip bootloader?

Hi Dave,

See SPRABD7A - Using the TMS320C5515/14/05/04 Bootloader

The C5515/05 can boot secure images from MMC/SD and USB (to ensure that the code cannot be accessed and read outside of the system). However, it cannot boot non-secure images over USB.

See also the wiki topic for creating boot images. You will need to get the C5000 Secure boot generation tool from TI - email me directly with the details.
