Flash Prebuilt Demo Archives

Flash to Nand Flash

Please check your hardware and run related bat script list as following:

• For sama5d3xek with resistive touch panel, run at91sama5d3ek_nandflash.bat script.
• For sama5d3xek with capacitive touch panel (PDA's TM4300 from Digi-Key.), run at91sama5d3ek_pda_nandflash.bat script.

More information please reference: Flashing_a_demo_on_AT91_boards

Flash to SD card

This need 2GiB SD card at least. Using dd command under Linux work station. It will use root permission to access SD card device. The following is the example under ubuntu with SD card name as /dev/sdc.

when use dd command, it overwrite the data on SD card. Please be sure when execute this command and get the right device name of SD card, or else it will cause unrecovery damage.

sudo dd if=Android-4.0.4_r2.1-sama5d3x-ext4-sdboot.img of=/dev/sdc

Known Issues

Hardware Issues

The following is the hardware issues list on the released demo packages.

• Backlight can't set.
  • Cause: this is a hardware issue of sama5d3 SoC.
  • Workaround: use standalone PWM output instead of LCDC embedded PWM.

• Camera module can not work with prebuilt demo packages.
  • Cause: on sama5d3 SoC, the ISI HSYNC and VYSNC conflict with TWI0, we default use TWI0 for audio codec.
  • Workaround: for new design, please avoid to use TWI0 and ISI at the same time.

Software Issues

The following is the software issues list on the released demo packages.

• Ethernet application can't work without DNS in static IP mode.
  • Cause: without DNS information, won't set the configuration to Ethernet.
  • Workaround: Add DNS when work in static IP mode.
  • Will fix this at next release.

• Power Management does not work, when press power button (k4), only power off LCD, while not suspend to RAM.
  • Will fix this at the next release.
