shell tool to write flash via ROM bootloader

andpas — Wed, 05 Jun 2013 08:00:21 GMT

Hello.

We developed a product employing a NAND flash as boot code device.

We need to program it on production line, using the ROM bootloader and USB connection to a PC with windows.

We are already using ATK to program the boards during the debug stages, but it works only in GUI mode,

while we need something that can be easily integrated on the production line, and doesn't require the intervention of the operator.

Basically we need a tool that can be launched from shell, passing all relevant parameters as options.

Is there somewhere a tool like this?

Thanks

Andrea

I'm not aware of any shell-tool like what you are looking for. Only the MFG tool but is GUI based.

One think that comes to my mind is fastboot (like in Android devices) but that imply that you have an auxiliar u-boot in place (like booting from SD) that puts the device in fastboot mode, then you can start flashing the device using fastboot tool. But that implies some significant effort in the u-boot.
