2Booting from On-Chip ROM (eSDHC or eSPI)
3----------------------------------------
4
5boot_format is a tool to write SD bootable images to a filesystem and build
6SD/SPI images to a binary file for writing later.
7
8When booting from an SD card/MMC, boot_format puts the configuration file and
9the RAM-based U-Boot image on the card.
10When booting from an EEPROM, boot_format generates a binary image that is used
11to boot from this EEPROM.
12
13Where to get boot_format:
14========================
15
16you can browse it online at:
17http://git.freescale.com/git/cgit.cgi/ppc/sdk/boot-format.git/
18
19Building
20========
21
22Run the following to build this project
23
24 $ make
25
26Execution
27=========
28
29boot_format runs under a regular Linux machine and requires a super user mode
30to run. Execute boot_format as follows.
31
32For building SD images by writing directly to a file system on SD media:
33
34 $ boot_format $config u-boot.bin -sd $device
35
36Where $config is the included config.dat file for your platform and $device
37is the target block device for the SD media on your computer.
38
39For build binary images directly a local file:
40
41 $ boot_format $config u-boot.bin -spi $file
42
43Where $file is the target file. Also keep in mind the u-boot.bin file needs
44to be the u-boot built for your particular platform and target media.
45
46Example: To generate a u-boot.bin for a P1022DS booting from SD, run the
47following in the u-boot repository:
48
49 $ make P1022DS_SDCARD
50
51Configuration Files
52===================
53
54Below are the configuration files to be used with a particular platform. Keep
55in mind that some of these config files are tied to the platforms DDR speed.
56Please see the SoC reference manual for more documentation.
