This trick is especially effective with a + hardware debugger that can override the HRCW, such as the BDI-2000. + + When the BMS bit in the HRCW is 0, the ITX will boot the U-Boot image + at address FE000000. When the BMS bit is 1, the ITX will boot the + image at address FEF00000. + + Therefore, just put a U-Boot image at both FE000000 and FEF00000 and + change the BMS bit whenever you want to boot the other image. + + Step-by-step instructions: + + 1) Build an ITX image to be loaded at FEF00000 + + make distclean + make MPC8349ITX_config + make + + 2) Take the u-boot.bin image and flash it at FEF00000. + + tftp $loadaddr u-boot.bin + protect off all + erase FEF00000 +$filesize + cp.b $loadaddr FEF00000 $filesize + + 3) Build an ITX image to be loaded at FE000000 + + make distclean + make MPC8349ITX_LOWBOOT_config + make + + 4) Take the u-boot.bin image and flash it at FE000000. + + tftp $loadaddr u-boot.bin + protect off FE000000 +$filesize + erase FE000000 +$filesize + cp.b $loadaddr FE000000 $filesize + + The HRCW in flash is currently set to boot the image at FE000000. + + If you have a hardware debugger, configure it to set the HRCW to + B460A000 04040000 if you want to boot the image at FEF00000, or set + it to B060A000 04040000 if you want to boot the image at FE000000. + + To change the HRCW in flash to boot the image at FEF00000, use these + U-Boot commands: + + cp.b FE000000 1000 10000 ; copy 1st flash sector to 1000 + mw.b 1020 b4 8 ; modify BMS bit + protect off FE000000 +10000 + erase FE000000 +10000 + cp.b 1000 FE000000 10000 + +7.
