## SECTION=bootloader menuconfig AT91BOOTSTRAP2 tristate prompt "AT91 bootstrap 3.x " help Note: this is for AT91 bootstrap version 3.4 or later. The AT91Bootstrap application is a first level bootloader for Atmel AT91SAM9 ARM Thumb-based microcontrollers. It is used for booting these microcontrollers from SPI dataflash or NAND-flash. For example, using this bootstrap, it is possible to obtain a basic bootloader that is located in DataFlash and is copied to internal SRAM by SAM-BA Boot (internal bootROM). The bootloader performs the processor initialization (PLLs, PIOs, SDRAMC, SPI), loads UBoot from DataFlash sectors to SDRAM and then jumps to it. It is required for these microcontrollers, because the bootROM of some of these cores can only handle a miximum of 4kB of the 1st stage bootloader (e.g. SRAM limits). U-boot is usually much larger than this. U-boot is normally build with the options CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT and CONFIG_SKIP_RELOCATE_UBOOT AT91Bootstrap integrates several sets of algorithms: - Device initialization such as clock speed configuration, PIO settings, etc. - Peripheral drivers such as PIO, PMC, SDRAMC, etc. - Physical media algorithms such as DataFlash, NANDFlash, Parallel Flash, etc. if AT91BOOTSTRAP2 config AT91BOOTSTRAP2_VERSION string default "3.8.5" prompt "AT91 Bootstrap version" help Enter the AT91 Bootstrap version you want to build.
