Hi All !!

Can anyone share the MLO binary for Beaglebone Black or can anyone provide guidelines to create Project on windows with IAR for Boot Loader. I have downloaded the required Startware kit from TI website. Rev A5c .

When you already have installed Starterware you can find the MLo binaries at binary\armv7a\cgt_ccs\am335x\beaglebone\bootloader

Hi Hans Mooller !

I already tried using the one Provided with Startware. I also tried boot.bin by adding ti image header and converting it to MLO. i didnt succed. Now i am looking for ward to create a project with help of the bootloader folder provided in the startware. I would request if you have the binary please share so that simultanously i can start testing the other peripherals of the BBB. Please guide if someone has created an isolated project for Bootloader.

thanks Hans!!

Th Bootloader-project is not a isolated one, you need some additional libraries in order to compile it (please check out the project settings to find out which one have to be built before the MLO can be created).

And an additional thing: Starterware currently does not support the BBB directly, you need to do some changes in some of the provided files. There is already a thread regarding this including the files to be changed.

My MLO was deeply changed so I afraid this will not help you...

Creating an own one is not that complicated, you just have to import the neededlibraries into CCS, compile them and compile the bootloader.
