Hi All,
    I am fresh engineer in this field working with DM6446 EVM DAVINCI board
which contains DSP as well ARMEJ9. I need to bring that board up. I don't
have any experience of how to load the boot loader, how the things goes
after boot loader get loaded, so and so. I am working by reading all the
document in u-boot source tree and going through the code of u-boot-1.1.3.
So can anybody help me to provide document kind of material that gives step
wise DETAIL of all the steps starting from boot loader installation to
running kernel. such that it helps me to make my task ease. I am going to
download the boot loader file through UART to internal RAM of ARM. Because I
am confused that how to write the image in NAND FLASH, thats why I am using
the other option and that is to download the boot image from UART where one
host utility will be runing on the host PC that does few handshaking with
board's primary boot loader and than downloads secondry boot loader from the
host PC.
 
Thanks,
Mehul Gohel

Why are you starting with OLD code? Please use the top of  tree  from
the git repository instead!

You should really start reading the FAQ.

well sorry for posting mail in HTML, I've started compiling uboot and at 
the first instant I am getting error something like

[root at localhost u-boot-1.1.3]# make davinci_config
Configuring for davinci board...
[root at localhost u-boot-1.1.3]# make all

make: *** [depend] Error 2
[root at localhost u-boot-1.1.3]#

Did I went wrong any where, I've not touched anything else not any 
configuration parameter or anything,.

I understand this is your custom board configuration, right?

This message is clear: the file "asm.S" in  directory  "post/cpu"  is
needed, but cannot be found. Seems your source code is incomplete.

> Did I went wrong any where, I've not touched anything else not any 
> configuration parameter or anything,.

Obviously this is not a complete source code tree.

And, for the last time (I  will  not  repeat  this):  don't  use  old
versions  for  current  work. Please use the top-of-tree version from
the git repository instead.

Arghh.. and omit such crap, please.

It seems you are  really  trying  hard  to  drop  one  clanger  after

Hi Mehul,

The u-boot for DaVinci EVM has not been uploaded to open source yet.
Please contact Jignesh Shah for the app note and necessary files on how
to do this.

Regards,

Loc

Will you please explain what this means? You distribute the code, but
not the sources?

Please read the GPL.

Please put this straight.

Sorry my statement was incorrect. I meant "submitted back to the Denx"
as we did with the omap 5912OSK, etc. This is to address the specific
needs from Mehul in his email. 
This product is still under development so the port is not finalized. As
with our other products we always include the u-boot source of the port
with the distribution.
Regards,
Loc
