Running software without an underlying OS (Linux, Windows, Android, ...)

Hey folks,

i want to run some code directly (without an OS) on my i.MX53 QSB. Can you help me with that?

Is there any documentation available?

Thanks!!

There is a test code (without any OS) for i.MX53QSB called IMX53_QSB_OBDS . You can download it from the i.MX53QSB web page.

Hi Jimpanse,

You can run standalone code through JTAG. Chapter 9 of the users guide says how to do it. You can find the users guide in the following link:

http://cache.freescale.com/files/32bit/doc/user_guide/MX53UG.pdf?fpsp=1&WT_TYPE=UsersGuides&WT_VENDOR=FREESCALE&WT_FILE_FORMAT=pdf&WT_ASSET=Documentation

About the code, you can write it in Eclipse, which is a freeware you can download from www.eclipse.org. After you finish the code, you can also compile it as a binary and flash it, this way you don't need JTAG.

Best regards.

Jorge.

Hey Jorge,

can you explain these steps a bit more detailed?

About the code, you can write it in Eclipse, which is a freeware you can download from www.eclipse.org. After you finish the code, you can also compile it as a binary and flash it, this way you don't need JTAG.

Which toolchain can I use? The CodeSourcery Lite Toolchain?

What do you mean by flashing without JTAG? Flashing the binary to the SD-Card? Which tool can I use?

Thanks in advance!
