MCF5282 boot from internal flash.

[TheMan]

Hello,
I am new to this forum and the ColdFire microcontrollers.
I am working with M5282LITE evaluation board.
With the GNU tools and Open TCP I have made a project which responds to ping from the internet.
When I use m68k-bdm-elf-gdb to upload the project and run it everything works.
How can I make the project boot from internal flash memory without needing to use dBUG first. I would like the program to start after reset.
Tell me if you need more information.


Thanks,
Rusi Gerogiev

First, make sure that your project has all the necessary initialization code in it (meaning you aren't relying on dBUG to initialize the system).  Then, link your project to start at the base of the boot flash and use a flash programmer to program your image onto the EVB.  You might want to have a backup of the dBUG image in case something goes wrong
