Booting
=======
The processor will start its code execution from an internal ROM,
containing the boot code. This boot loader can load code from one of four
external sources to internal RAM (IRAM) at address 0x0::
- UART5
- SSP0 (in SPI mode)
- EMC Static CS0 memory
- NAND FLASH

The ROM boot loader loads code as a single contiguous block at a maximum
size of 56 kByte. Programs larger than this size must be loaded in more
steps, for example, by a secondary boot loader.

Kickstart Loader
----------------
By default the Embedded Artists LPC3250 OEM Board is programmed with the
kickstart loader in block 0 of the NAND flash. The responsibility of this
loader is to load an application stored in block 1 and onwards of the NAND
flash. The kickstart loader will load the application into internal RAM
(IRAM) at address 0x0.

Stage 1 Loader (s1l)
--------------------
By default the Embedded Artists LPC3250 OEM Board is programmed with the
stage 1 loader (s1l) in block 1 of the NAND flash. This application will be
loaded by the kickstart loader when the LPC3250 OEM Board powers up. The
S1L loader will initialize the board, such as clocks and external memory
and then start a console where you can give input commands to the loader.
S1L offers the following booting options::
- MMC/SD card
- UART5
- NAND Flash

U-Boot with kickstart+s1l
-------------------------
Out of the box, the easiest way to get U-Boot running on the EA LPC3250
DevKit v2 board is to build the ea-lpc3250devkitv2_defconfig, copy the
resulting u-boot.bin to a vfat-formatted MMC/SD card, insert the MMC/SD card
into the MMC/SD card slot on the board, reset the board (SW1), and::

	Embedded Artist 3250 Board (S1L 2.0)
	Build date: Oct 31 2016 13:00:37

	EA3250>load blk u-boot.bin raw 0x83000000
	File loaded successfully

	EA3250>exec 0x83000000


Debugging
=========
JTAG debugging of the Embedded Artists LPC3250 Developer's Kit v2 board is
easy thanks to the included/populated 20-pin JTAG port on the main board (J8).
openocd 0.11 has been used with this board along with the ARM-USB-OCD-H JTAG
dongle from Olimex successfully as follows:

	# openocd \
		-f interface/ftdi/olimex-arm-usb-ocd-h.cfg \
		-f board/phytec_lpc3250.cfg


i2c
===
Some of the LEDs on the board are connected via an I/O Expander (PCA9532) that
is attached to the i2c1 bus. Here is a sample session of toggling some of
these LEDs via i2c in U-Boot:

show the existing i2c busses:
	EA-LPC3250v2=> i2c bus
	Bus 0:  i2c@300
	Bus 1:  i2c@400a0000
	Bus 2:  i2c@400a8000

set i2c1 as the current bus:
	EA-LPC3250v2=> i2c dev 1
	Setting bus to 1

see what potential devices are found with rudimentary probing on i2c1:
	EA-LPC3250v2=> i2c probe
	Valid chip addresses: 1A 1D 48 50 57 60 66 6E

According to the schematics the i2c slave address of the PCA9532 is 0x60.

dump all of the 10 registers from the I/O Expander; NOTE that the 0x10 in the
command specifies the self-incrementing mode of the PCA9532; also NOTE that
the values repeat themseves to fill out a full 16 bytes:
	EA-LPC3250v2=> i2c md 0x60 0x10 10
	0010: 00 ff 00 80 00 80 00 00 00 00 4f ff 00 80 00 80    ..........O.....

turn on LEDs 23, 25, 27, and 29 (green):
	EA-LPC3250v2=> i2c mw 0x60 9 0x55

turn on LEDs 22, 24, 26, and 28 (red):
	EA-LPC3250v2=> i2c mw 0x60 8 0x55

dim the green LEDs (23, 25, 27, 29):
	EA-LPC3250v2=> i2c mw 0x60 3 0x20
	EA-LPC3250v2=> i2c mw 0x60 9 0xaa

turn off all LEDs (23-29):
	EA-LPC3250v2=> i2c mw 0x60 8 0
	EA-LPC3250v2=> i2c mw 0x60 9 0

read value of switches (input):
	EA-LPC3250v2=> i2c md 0x60 0 1
	0000: 4f    O
[none are pressed]

press and hold SW2 while running the following:
	EA-LPC3250v2=> i2c md 0x60 0 1
	0000: 4e    N
[SW2 is pressed]
