Hi All,
I am using
Buildroot-QuickMIPS development environment for porting
linux-based applications to a development board. When I run the 'make' command
in the Top level Buildroot folder, the Kernel Image file
generated in srec format defaults to the address where the
SDRAM is mapped. In this way I am able to boot the kernel form
SDRAM. I want to load the image to flash (mapped to some other address) and
boot the kernel from it. Can someone having worked on Buildroot tell me where to
locate the linker directive file and make the necessary change so that I can
generate the Image for a specific memory area.
Presently I use the Boot
Monitor's load command that stores the Image file from some server configured as
boot server to Target SDRAM and kernel is executed by issuing the go command.
I want to know whether
the download mechanism would remain the same for booting the kernel from Flash
as from SDRAM or I may need to use some ROM directive in the Linker
directive file so that on reset the code is moved from flash to SDRAM and
executed from there.
