How to upload u-boot to H3 with serial port ?

How to upload u-boot to H3 with serial port ?

[Ningzhong Miao - ???]

I am lucky to get a H3 board.

I connect the serial port of H3 to my PC, and then power up H3, the
serial port don't give any data and minicom don't have any print. So I
think the H3 board don't have a bootloader yet. 

 

I want upload u-boot to H3, but I don't have JTAG and CCS, I only have
serial port.

How should I upload u-boot to H3 with serial port ?

Hi Miao

U would need to have ( correctly [ARM] compiled ) u-boot image that
you can flash thru flashing tool (CCS is a good option) using JTAG
(thru USB) onto the target (H3). You can flash it to say NOR flash
memory of the target. Plz note CCS expects the image to be in " .out "
format & image is meant for exact/proper address of the memory on
which it is to be flashed.

Once you have flashed, you can boot the target and you should have
some Hyperterminal (Tera Term is a good option) on which you can get
the u-boot prompt (on the RS232 console).

Thanks

[Kipisz, Steven]

Actually, newer versions CCS can work with ELF format.  I know 3.1 and
higher support ELF and I think 2.4 does.  ELF is the format of the
u-boot executable so you would download and run that file.

Typically, I use CCS or Trace32 to download u-boot, run it, then use it
to download u-boot.bin and flash that.

CCS,Lauterbach, USB.. And.... There is supposedly a "poor man's"
approach... ;)
There is OST host(some name to that effect) tool which should be usable
over serial port... if you are lucky enough to get the box in which the
h3 came with, then it hides innocently in a CD in it...

http://linux.omap.com/pub/documentation/P2_NAND_boot_support.txt

can help you started though it is for P2.. but note that this was
written sometime back... things have changed since then, but most
probably not about OST host - if u can flash u-boot to flash.. Ur good
to GO :)!!

If you cant find OST host... u could contact your TI contact person for it..

Hi,guys, I make some progress.
I changed switch setting to:
       SW101-1 OFF
       SW101-2 ON
       SW101-3 ON
       SW101-4 OFF

       SW401-1 OFF
       SW401-2 OFF
       SW401-3 ON
       SW401-4 ON
 I connect USB OTG to my PC and power up H3, then installed OMAP1710 driver.

Now I download to target through USB with OST, the message box show:

Hi,Nishanth, thank you for your letter.
I have the OST tool. But there are some problems on using OST.
Below is the steps:
1, I set the switches according "omap_1710v1.4.txt"
    - Main Board

       SW101-1 ON
       SW101-2 ON
       SW101-3 ON
       SW101-4 OFF

       SW401-1 ON
       SW401-2 OFF
       SW401-3 ON
       SW401-4 ON

       - Multiport debug board

       SW2-1 OFF
       SW2-2 OFF
       SW2-3 OFF
       SW2-4 OFF

       SW3-1 ON
       SW3-2 ON
       SW3-3 ON
       SW3-4 ON
       SW3-5 ON
       SW3-6 ON
       SW3-7 OFF
       SW3-8 OFF
2, run OST tool V2.5.
  Set "16xx_17xx DDR" in Platform.
  Set "COM1" in Interface
  Set "NOR" in Flash Type
  Set "GP" in Device.
  Flash Firmware is OST_Flash_16xx.out.
  Downloaded SW is OST_Load_GP_16xx.2nd.
  Input File is u-boot.bin.raw
 Click the button "Download To target", and the message box show "Mon, September 04, 2006:  14:04.19 PM  Waiting for Target to send ASIC ID".

3, connect TS232 UART to my PC, Power up H3,
  OST Tool didn't have any reaction!!!

If I connect USB to my PC, and set "USB" in Interfaces, OST show " Waiting for USB device to connect" and no other reaction.

Is there some wrong in my steps ? Please help me to check it, thank you.

I set "HS" in Devices option, and then it succeed.
I have loaded u-boot to H3 through TS232 UART successfully. Thank you all!

How to upload u-boot to H3 with serial port ?

[Ravi KK]

Hi

How to load u-boot on OMAP 1710 board?

Following steps are followed to load u-boot.bin.raw file to board.

1. Connected UART on main board to PC serial port (using Rs232 with DB9
connector). (also tried between debug board UART and PC serial interface,
but end up with same status)

2. Set the switches according "omap_1710v1.4.txt" 

    - Main Board

       SW101-1 ON

       SW101-2 ON

       SW101-3 ON

       SW101-4 OFF

 

       SW401-1 ON

       SW401-2 OFF

       SW401-3 ON

       SW401-4 ON

 

       - Multiport debug board

 

       SW2-1 OFF

       SW2-2 OFF

       SW2-3 OFF

       SW2-4 OFF

 

       SW3-1 ON

       SW3-2 ON

       SW3-3 ON

       SW3-4 ON

       SW3-5 ON

       SW3-6 ON

       SW3-7 OFF

       SW3-8 OFF

3. Run OST tool V2.5.

  Set "16xx_17xx DDR" in Platform.

  Set "COM1" in Interface

  Set "NOR" in Flash Type

  Set "HS" in Device.

  Flash Firmware is OST_Flash_16xx.out.

  Downloaded SW is OST_Load_GP_16xx.2nd.

  Input File is u-boot.bin.raw

 Click the button "Download To target", and the message box show  'Waiting
for Target to send ASIC ID'

4. Power up H3,

OST Tool status shows ''Waiting for Target to send ASIC ID' no change
further!!!!

------------------->

Based on above switch settings USB OTG is connected to PC USB.

Followed above step 3 and set 'interface' in OST tool to 'USB' and step 4.
But the status is 'Waiting for USB device to connect" and no other reaction.


During this step, when power up the board PC identifies the board as unknown
device. I tried to install USB driver provided by TI, but is not getting
installed as windows says current installed  driver is newer than the new
one. 

How to get the board identified as a normal USB to PC host? Any other is
available?

 

Looking for support.

 

Regards

Ravi KK

With these steps you can flash u-boot using USB OTG on H3.

Try the following Settings -

Switch settings to Flash (Uart Cable on debug board)

# SW101   OFF ON ON OFF
# SW1501 1-OFF, 2-OFF, 3-ON,  4-OFF, 5-OFF, 6-OFF, 7-OFF, 8-OFF
Switch ON H3.
With these setting windows should detect H3 h/w as 'OMAP1710'. Install
the driver for H3.


Flashing u-boot:
1. Settings->Configuration->Platform->16xx_17xx DDR
2. Settings->Configuration->Interface->USB
3. Settings->Configuration->Flash Type->NOR
4. Settings->Configuration->Device->HS or EMU



5. Select "Image Download and Run from RAM" on the Main Window
6. Click "Download To Target"
7. When the message box shows  'Waiting for Target to send ASIC ID';
Reset the board by switching it off and on, Uboot Image will
downloaded automatically.

You may need to change the setting "Image Download and flashing" or
"Image Download and Run from RAM" depends on your Uboot.


To boot now change switch settings to
# SW101   ON ON ON OFF
# TeraTerm at 115200 (Uart Cable on debug board).

Prashant K
