Writing Image file to Parallel flash

Hi,

I want to write a Image file (craeted by Bootwizard) to the Parallel flash.

On which address i must write the Image file to the parallel flash.

Have i do anything else to write to the parallel flash, that the Image file started after Reset the NETX ?

Br,
Rainer

Hi Rainer,

the handling inside if the Bootwizard application is the same as when you use the serial SPI flash.
The Bootwizard should be able to read out the load address from the *.elf file. (Because the memory mapping is done with the help of the *.ld file)

Take care, that there is no bootable image inside of the SPI-flash.

Hi AJ,

Is that right:

- Erase SPI Flash.
- Write Image file to parallel flash at address 0.
- Reset the NETX, and the NETX start the image file.

Where the NETX know, that in the parallel flash is a image file ?

Rainer

Hi Rainer,

the steps are ok.

The netX knows this about the internal ROM Loader. Further information about can be found in the netX documentation.
