Porting BIOS to another platform

Nick Borton

Hello,

Are there any guides to port BIOS to other platforms? Such as other ARM based products?

Thanks

    Hi,

    Porting BIOS to other devices has always been an in-house effort.

    Consequently there are no documents describing the process.

    Which device are you wanting to support?

    If it is a TI device, it may already be on our development roadmap.

    Unfortunately it may not be a TI device, it will most certainly be an ARM. I have designed with a lot of TI parts, which is why I've gotten to appreciate BIOS. It would be nice to keep using BIOS even if I can't find a TI device that meets my needs. That said, if all I needed was to setup the XDC build for the tools, update a timer and interrupt module and I could have simplistic BIOS functionality that would be nice. That way when TI does produce, say a Stellaris part with native NAND support (parallel nand with ecc, eMMC, or SDCard), it would make the switch easier.
