Update

iMX25_update.bmp file

For this update Type you need the "iMX25_update.bmp" file and the image file (e.g. nk.gz for WinCE) on the SD Card. After power on the update starts automatically. The "iMX25_update.bmp" file contains three pictures (Update in progress, Update done and Update error) which are shown on the display during the update process. The file contains also an argument which defines the update type (WinCE image, Linux image, ...). An exact description can be found on the iMX25CreateUpdateBmp manual.

It is also possible to call the "iMX25_update.bmp" update from the command line:

update

command line

It is possible to update the DHCOM i.MX25 Core Module form the command line without "iMX25_update.bmp" file. The advantage is the possibility to run multiple updates in series. This update type dosen't use the Display to show the progress. You need only the corresponding files on the SD Card for the update.

update <type> <filename>

Type:

wince = WinCE image update (default file names nk.gz or nk.bin)

linux = Linux image update (default file name uImage)

flash = Complete flash image update

bootloader = Bootloader update (default file name u-boot.bin)

splash = Bootbitmap update (default file name splash.bmp)

settings = Settings block update (default file name settings.bin)

I2C

List available devices

i2c probe

Valid chip addresses: 00 57 6F
0x5F = DHCOM i.MX25 Core Module EEPROM
0x6F = DHCOM i.MX25 Core Module Real Time Clock

Read

i2c md <I2C address> <I2C register> <Bytes>

Example: i2c md 57 0 10

Description: Reads 10 Bytes from the offset 0.

Write

i2c mw <I2C address> <I2C register> <Value> <Bytes>

Example: i2c mw 57 0 aa 5

Description: Writes 0xaa to 5 Bytes from the offset 0.

OS Boot

WinCE

bootwince <Image address> <debug>

Example: bootwince 200000

Description: The address 200000 specifies NAND Flash image address. The image is loaded from NAND flash to SDRAM. Next to that u-boot starts WinCE.

Note: The Image address could also be an SDRAM address. But it is necessary to copy the Image (via tftp or nand flash commands) to the SDRAM before calling "bootwince".

bootwince tftp

Note: The ENV variables "loadaddr" and "bootfile" needs to be set before calling the command. For *.gz image types the "loadaddr" should be set to 0x8290_0000 and for *.bin images the address should be 0x8100_0000.

loadaddr bootfile

Linux

bootm <Kernel address> <arg>

Note: When booting a Linux kernel,‘arg' can be the address of an initrd image.
