I am using the AT91SAM9260-ek development board. I think there are no files with the kit for the Norflash interface. Can anyone guide how can we use Norflash?

BootStrap?

download?

The AT91SAM9260-EK has no NOR FLASH on board.

Your choices with BMS=1 (RomBoot) are basically the serial data flash, and nand flash, where the boot strap code is copied to internal SRAM.

With BMS=0 (External), the 16-bit memory on NCS0 must contain bootable code. It does not require any magic bootstrap, although you would probably want to copy vectors into SRAM and remap, and initialize the SDRAM.

You can hang NOR FLASH off the EBI, the reference manual diagrams the use of the AT49LV6416 off of NCS0 for 8 MB.

If you are familiar with the programming of NOR FLASH, it shouldn't be too hard to code a SAM-BA applet to download your boot image to the device. Segger's J-Flash should also be quite capable of delivering code to the device.

We have welded a piece of norflash.Our system to be developed only have norflash, no nandflash no sdram.So I want to know how to start program using norflash and program runing in the norflash ? if you have Informations or demo program ,Please email to me, thanks.

Set BMS=0

The boot code is just generic ARM9 boot code. ie set up memories, hardware, peripherals, stacks, copy vectors to RAM, remap RAM.

Want example code, look at AT91 Bootstrap, library code, for the SAM9, and things like the EB40, and other ARM9 Atmel parts. Review the manual, and become familiar with the boot process.

I'd show you how, but I'd have to charge..
