[U-Boot-Users] Generating b-records for DragonBall i.MX

[U-Boot-Users] Generating b-records for DragonBall i.MX

[Steven Scholz]

Hi there,

I just hacked a simple script that converts u-boot.bin into a text file 
containg processor init code, SynchFlash programming code and U-Boot data in 
form of so called b-records.

This can be used to programm U-Boot into (Synch)Flash using the Bootstrap 
Mode of the MC9328MX1/L

MX1ADS Sync-flash Programming Utility v0.5 2002/08/21

Source address (stored in 0x0AFE0000): 0x0A000000
Target address (stored in 0x0AFE0004): 0x0C000000
Size           (stored in 0x0AFE0008): 0x0001A320

Press any key to start programming ...
Erasing ...
Blank checking ...
Programming ...
Verifying flash ... succeed.

Programming finished.

So no need for a BDI2000 anymore... ;-)

This is working on my MX1ADS eval board. Hope this could be useful for 
someone. (Maybe we even want to include this into the tools directory.)

I agree, it would be nice to include this in u-boot CVS.

Added as "tools/img2brec.sh"
