Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM3505

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.
