... The typical operation of each boot loader is to load the next stage program into SDRAM and then execute a JUMP to its start address. AT91BOOTSTRAP Version 2.4 of at91bootstrap has been used, along with minor modifications to add support for the SAM9-L9261 board. To compile from source: Extract the sources: tar xjf at91bootstrap-2.4-olimex.tar.bz2 cd at91bootstrap-2.4-olimex http://www.codesourcery.com -> ...

... LINUX KERNEL The used kernel is a mainstream 2.6.30 slightly modified to include support for the SAM9-L9261 board. As with the bootloaders, the modifications were based on the source files for Atmel's AT91SAM9261EK board. In order to compile the kernel its sources must be extracted first: tar xjf linux-2 ...

... Debian or some pre-compiled Angstrom image. The root filesystem used in SAM9-L9261 is a slightly modified version of the official Atmel Linux demo binary. Additional software can easily be installed by the command "ipkg", provided that the board is connected to Internet via Ethernet cable. Run ipkg from the SAM9-L9261 shell prompt to see the available options ...

... The JTAG connector allows a debugger to talk via a JTAG (Joint Test Action Group) port directly to the core. Instructions may be inserted and executed by the core thus allowing SAM9261 memory to be programmed with code and executed step by step by the host software. For more details refer to IEEE Standard 1149.1 - 1990 Standard Test Access Port and Boundary Scan Architecture and SAM9261 datasheet ...

... The SMD jumpers WP_E and CP_E must be soldiered specially configured version of the Linux kernel must be used. A precompiled binary can be found in the “sam9-l9261-samba- sdmmc.zip” archive. The configuration for this kernel can be loaded in the kernel source tree with the following command CAVEAT: prevent it from working properly with some SD/MMC cards ...

... And finally boot the kernel: U-Boot> boot In the previous example the NFS server has IP address 192.168.0.225, and the SAM9-L9261 client is assigned IP address 192.168.0.239 and host name "emblin". The NFS export path is "/path/to/nfs-root" Another option is to use DHCP: U-Boot> setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=192 ...

... And then save the settings to dataflash: saveenv Another option is to open the programming script sam9-l9261-samba/sam9_l9261_demo_linux.tcl and set the Ethernet address there. Search for "ethaddr" to find where to edit. Then reflash the board memories (see the RESTORING THE INSTALLATION section). ...
