EVALUAT ON BOARD SOFTWARE
The SW driver on evaluation board can be updated u ing the u-boot bootloader that come with board. However, we ugge t that
cu tomer purcha e Vi ualDSP++ 5.0 and a low-co t JTAG debugger for Blackfin proce or (HPUSB-ICE or ICE-100B) to u e in ca e
the u-boot oftware i accidentally era ed or corrupted.
PGRADING THE APPLICATION BINARY SING -BOOT
Every EVAL-ADV8005-SMZ evaluation board hip with the U-Boot boot loader firmware. A uming thi oftware ha n't been
era ed/corrupted, you have the option of upgrading the firmware u ing only an RS-232 cable and oftware.
The output from u-boot hould look omething like thi :
-------------------
U-Boot 2012.07-rc2 (ADI-2012R2) (Jul 16 2013 - 11:21:16)
CPU: ADSP bf524-0.2 (Detected Rev: 0.2) (spi flash boot)
Board: ADI Advantiv™ Video Evaluation Board
Support: http://ez.analog.com
Clock: VCO: 300 MHz, Core: 300 MHz, System: 100 MHz
RAM: 8 MiB
SF: Detected M25P32 with page size 64 KiB, total 4 MiB
In: serial
Out: serial
Err: serial
KGDB: [on serial] ready
Hit any key to stop autoboot:
-------------------
If you ee thi RS232 output, you can u e the following tep to upgrade the application binary on your board (if you determine thi i
nece ary). Note that the e in truction a ume you are u ing the ver ion 4.78 of Tera Term for Window (which i free to download and
u e). We have experienced YMODEM i ue with previou ver ion of TeraTerm, o we trongly ugge t u ing ver ion 4.78 or higher.
1. After you ee the hit any key to stop autoboot prompt, pre a key during the countdown. You hould then ee a prompt, bfin >.
2. At the prompt, type the following command:
sf probe 0:1
You hould ee the following:
SF: Detected M25P32 with page size 64 KiB, total 4 MiB
bfin>
3. At the prompt, type the following command:
loady
You hould ee the following output:
## Ready for binary (ymodem) download to 0x00800000 at 115200 bps...
4. In Tera Term, under File, click Transfer, then YMODEM, and elect Send…
5. Select the application binary file (for example, BF_7625_8005_VSP_ .80_RC3_20 4032 .bin) and click Open.
You hould ee the YMODEM end dialog box progre quickly from 0% to 100%. If the oftware tall at Packet 1 or Packet 2 for a few
econd , you may need to cancel and retry. It i po ible that you may need to repeat Step 3 through Step 5 a few time to accompli h the
tran fer. After the tran fer i complete, you hould ee omething like the following output:
CCxyzModem - CRC mode, 0(SOH)/721(STX)/0(CAN) packets, 4 retries
## Total Size = 0x000b3f70 = 737136 Bytes
bfin>
6. At the prompt, type the following command to era e the application area of the SPI fla h memory:
sf erase 0x60000 0xc0000
(Note: that this is slightly larger than the value 0xa0000 used on previous evaluation boards)
You hould then ee the following output:
bfin>
7. At the prompt, type the following command to program the application area of the SPI fla h memory:
sf write $(loadaddr) 0x60000 $(filesize)
You hould then ee the following output:
bfin>
8. At thi point, if you re et your board and allow the countdown to complete, U-Boot hould launch the application binary that you ju t
programmed.
