| There are only 2 eth port installed on the boards. | |
| There are separate PLLs to drive clocks to Tetris ARM and Peripherals. | |
| To bring up SMP Linux on this board, there is a boot monitor | |
| code that will be installed in MSMC SRAM. There is command available | |
| to install this image from u-boot. | |

| Load and Run U-Boot on keystone EVMs using CCS | |
| ========================================= | |
| Need Code Composer Studio (CCS) installed on a PC to load and run u-boot.bin | |
| on EVM. See instructions at below link for installing CCS on a Windows PC. | |
| http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/MCSDK_UG_Chapter_Getting_Started# | |
| Installing_Code_Composer_Studio | |
| Use u-boot.bin from the build folder for loading and running u-boot binary | |
| on EVM. Follow instructions at | |
| K2HK http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/EVMK2H_Hardware_Setup | |
| K2E http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/EVMK2E_Hardware_Setup | |
| K2L http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/TCIEVMK2L_Hardware_Setup | |
| to configure SW1 dip switch to use "No Boot/JTAG DSP Little Endian Boot Mode" | |
| and Power ON the EVM. Follow instructions to connect serial port of EVM to | |
| PC and start TeraTerm or Hyper Terminal. | |
| Start CCS on a Windows machine and Launch Target | |
| configuration as instructed at http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/ | |
| MCSDK_UG_Chapter_Exploring#Loading_and_Running_U-Boot_on_EVM_through_CCS. | |
| The instructions provided in the above link uses a script for | |
| loading the u-boot binary on the target EVM. Instead do the following:- | |
| 1. Right click to "Texas Instruments XDS2xx USB Emulator_0/CortexA15_1 core (D | |
| is connected: Unknown)" at the debug window (This is created once Target | |
| configuration is launched) and select "Connect Target". | |
| 2. Once target connect is successful, choose Tools->Load Memory option from the | |
| top level menu. At the Load Memory window, choose the file u-boot.bin | |
| through "Browse" button and click "next >" button. In the next window, enter | |
| Start address as 0xc001000, choose Type-size "32 bits" and click "Finish" | |
| button. | |
| 3. Click View -> Registers from the top level menu to view registers window. | |
| 4. From Registers, window expand "Core Registers" to view PC. Edit PC value | |
| to be 0xc001000. From the "Run" top level menu, select "Free Run" | |
| 5. The U-Boot prompt is shown at the Tera Term/ Hyper terminal console as | |
| below and type any key to stop autoboot as instructed := | |

| SPI NOR Flash programming instructions | |
| ====================================== | |
| U-Boot image can be flashed to first 512KB of the NOR flash using following | |
| instructions: | |
| 1. Start CCS and run U-boot as described above. | |
| 2. Suspend Target. Select Run -> Suspend from top level menu | |
| CortexA15_1 (Free Running)" | |
| 3. Load u-boot-spi.gph binary from build folder on to DDR address 0x87000000 | |
| through CCS as described in step 2 of "Load and Run U-Boot on K2HK/K2E/K2L | |
| EVM using CCS", but using address 0x87000000. | |
| 4. Free Run the target as described earlier (step 4) to get u-boot prompt | |
| 5. At the U-Boot console type following to setup u-boot environment variables. | |
| setenv addr_uboot 0x87000000 | |
| setenv filesize <size in hex of u-boot-spi.gph rounded to hex 0x10000> | |
| run burn_uboot_spi | |
| Once u-boot prompt is available, Power OFF the EVM. Set the SW1 dip switch | |
| to "SPI Little Endian Boot mode" as per instruction at | |
| http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/*_Hardware_Setup. | |
| 6. Power ON the EVM. The EVM now boots with u-boot image on the NOR flash. | |
| AEMIF NAND Flash programming instructions | |
| ====================================== | |
| U-Boot image can be flashed to first 1024KB of the NAND flash using following | |
| instructions: | |
| 1. Start CCS and run U-boot as described above. | |
| 2. Suspend Target. Select Run -> Suspend from top level menu | |
| CortexA15_1 (Free Running)" | |
| 3. Load u-boot-nand.gph binary from build folder on to DDR address 0x87000000 | |
| through CCS as described in step 2 of "Load and Run U-Boot on K2HK EVM | |
| using CCS", but using address 0x87000000. | |
| 4. Free Run the target as described earlier (step 4) to get u-boot prompt | |
| 5. At the U-Boot console type following to setup u-boot environment variables. | |
| setenv filesize <size in hex of u-boot-nand.gph rounded to hex 0x10000> | |
| run burn_uboot_nand | |
| Once u-boot prompt is available, Power OFF the EVM. Set the SW1 dip switch | |
| to "ARM NAND Boot mode" as per instruction at | |
| http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/*_Hardware_Setup. | |
| 6. Power ON the EVM. The EVM now boots with u-boot image on the NAND flash. |
