As title, I'm designing my board with am335x and reference to starter kit board.

but I read the uboot and kernel code, I think the eeprom content is needed.

How can I get the bin file of the eeprom ?

Hi,

Please take a look at this wiki page: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/AM335x_Starter_Kit_ID_Memory_Programming

You can also try to work around all the EEPROM checks inside the source code if you don't want to depend on it. These were implemented in our EVMs in order for the source code to recognize the board and configure it correctly.

Best regards,
Miroslav

Hi Miroslav:

Thank you for your reply.

If I want to use EEPROM check ,follow the wiki page ,if I boot from SD card,I just need to copy the SK3358ID.txt to the sd card .

Am I right?

You need these files, as stated in the wiki page:

a. MLO - Starterware bootloader
b. app - Test binary
c. SK3358ID.txt - EEPROM ID Memory configuration file

Then you just follow the steps from the wiki page (please read it):

1. Copy these files to a formatted uSD card (not just the text file).
2. Plug the uSD card inside the StarterKit.
3. Power the board while pressing the SW5 button for a few seconds.
4. Open a serial terminal (115200,8N1).
5. Then choose the correct option from the menu (1-ID Memory Programming) and then you have these two other options:

A. If the SD card mount is successful and the ID Memory configuration file is available the ID Memory programming will be automatic except for the Board serial number which need to be entered manually, Refer to the A. Automation procedure.

B. If the ID Memory configuration file is not available ID Memory programming fails and wait in the SD card mount prompt. Refer to the B. Manual procedure below for the instructions for the Manual ID Memory programming.

Best regards,
Miroslav
