Is there a canned project somewhere for x loader for the 3505/17 that will build under the windows version 4 of CCS?
Also, for what CPU should I build it? How do I specify it?
Thanks.

No there isn't. x-loader is a mini-bootloader for the purpose of getting u-boot running on the AM3505.
Why the extra bootloader? Because the AM3505 does not have enough internal SRAM to load u-boot completely into internal memory. Therefore, x-loader was created, spawned as a subset of u-boot, to be very small, fit in internal SRAM and configure the DRAM interface. It then copies u-boot from external non-volatile memory to DRAM and jumps to u-boot in DRAM.
