The first stage +loader, also known as MLO is loaded by the ROM code. The MLO loads the second stage +loader from the same medium. + +Building barebox +---------------- + +The TI AM335x boards in barebox are covered by the ``am335x_mlo_defconfig`` +for the MLO and ``am335x_defconfig`` for the regular barebox image. The +resulting images will be placed under ``images/``: + +:: + barebox-am33xx-afi-gf.img + barebox-am33xx-afi-gf-mlo.img + barebox-am33xx-beaglebone.img + barebox-am33xx-beaglebone-mlo.img + barebox-am33xx-phytec-phycore.img + barebox-am33xx-phytec-phycore-mlo-1x128m16.img + barebox-am33xx-phytec-phycore-mlo-1x256m16.img + barebox-am33xx-phytec-phycore-mlo-1x512m16.img + +Some boards come in different variants, make sure to pick the correct one. + +Starting and updating barebox +----------------------------- + +SPI NOR and NAND +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +The regular board images can be started from another bootloader, see +:ref:`second_stage`. The board should provide update handlers +to update (or initially install) barebox on SPI NOR or NAND, see :ref:`update`. + +SD/MMC +^^^^^^ + +To start barebox from SD/MMC prepare a card with a FAT filesystem. Copy the MLO +file for your board to the card and name it ``MLO``. Copy the regular image +for your board to the card and name it ``barebox.bin``. |
