Bootloaders and memory locations

Marko Vuksanovic

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP3530

I'm trying to switch bootloaders on an Omap3530 based embedded device. It came with WinCE and its bootloaders, and I'd like to change it to use Linux. I was wondering which memory locations should the x-loader and u-boot be placed in NAND flash. From what I have seen x-loader should go to 0x2000000 while u boot should be placed somewhat after that, with an offset. Actually I'm not really sure so if somebody could tell me exactly, or at least point me to the right documentation.

Thanks in advance,
Marko

Thanks for the response. From the above guides, I wasn't able to clearly figure out if I need to flash both x-loader and u-boot or it's jut u-boot. I guess it's just u-boot? Is that right?
