Intel® IQ80332 I/O Processor

Getting Started and Debugger

B.4 Flashing with JTAG

B.4.1 Overview

CodeLab and Raven are capable of reading from, writing to, and erasing the contents of the Flash on the evaluation board. The board comes with RedBoot loaded in the Flash. RedBoot is the RedHat debug monitor which initializes the board and has some debug and diagnostic functions. It is capable of serial communication with the console of a debug program or with Microsoft HyperTerminal, and it prepares the board for accepting an application program.

CodeLab invokes a Flash programmer written by Macraigor. More information on the Flash programmer is located at:

This Flash programmer only supports certain file formats: Intel Hex, Motorola srec and standard elf (executable and linking format). RedBoot.s19 and RedBoot.srec are both srec files. TBD.i32 is an ARM BootMonitor Intel Hex file. BootMonitor is an ARM version of a debug monitor, which is similar but not identical to RedBoot.

Macraigor offers conversion tools to convert existing file types to a supported file type. These conversion tools are located at:

C:\ATI\codelab\codelab Debug\Macraigor\Flash Programmer

The ReadMe.txt file describes the conversions tools. BinToS19.exe converts binary files to srec files and MakeIntelHex.exe converts a.out files to Intel Hex files. When using the BinToS19.exe conversion tool, use 0x0 for the starting address. For example, at the CMD prompt in the directory where BinToS19.exe is located, the command line looks like this:

C:\ATI\codelab\codelab Debug\Macraigor\Flash Programmer>bintos19

C:\temp\redboot_ROM.bin 0x0 c:\temp\redboot_ROM.s19
