Page 18: Introduction
Introduction Introduction Pre-built binaries for UBL, U-Boot, Linux kernel, and flash writers are provided in the PSP_02_20_#_#/bin directory in the PSP installation. On the DA8xx SoC, the DSP boots first. On boot-up, the DSP runs the DSP AIS binary, whose purpose is to load the ARM UBL into internal RAM, set the ARM reset vector correctly, and get the ARM out of reset. -
Page 19: Booting From Spi Flash
Booting from SPI Flash directory of the PSP installation, or you can build your own by following the steps in Section 4.4.2. 5) Run the SPI flasher program. In CCStudio v4.0, the file path and offset are picked up from the C:\spiwriter.dat data file. To use the CCStudio v4.0 based tool, create a file named spiwriter.dat in the C: drive of the host PC, and include the full path to the file followed by the offset (as a decimal value) in the first line of the spiwriter.dat file. -
