TWR-MCF5441X U-Boot Destroyed

Hi,

 

I have a TWR-MCF5441X and did U-Boot upgrade in MRAM with:

-> set u-boot u-boot.bin

-> run upd

 

But now it won't start up anymore.

 

I have been trying to program U-Boot through the USB multilink with the CFFlasher tool in the M54418Tower_Linux_BSP_20110422_ltib, without any luck.

when running the commands:

C:\CFFlasher-nand>cf nand erase m54418twr_nand 0 80000 

or

C:\CFFlasher-nand>cf nand write m54418twr_nand 0 80000 1 flash_M54418TWR_uboot.bin

 

I get the message: Could not initialize BDM device.

 

The following I already tried:

Running commands on win7 with CW 10.1 installed.

Running commands on winXP SP3 with CW 10.1 installed. (also virtual)

Running commands on winXP SP2 with CW 10.1 / 2.5  and P&E version 10 drivers. installed 

Replacing unit_cfz.dll with other versions(from MQX and CW) and alse placing it in system32

Putting/Removing jumper on J10.

 

All jumpers are on the default places. (j5 is on 3-4) SW1.1 is on ON

 

I'm out of idea's, any help is appreciated.

Solution:

 

  1. Using CW10.1 to update U-boot for TWR-MCF5441X

    1. Create a project with the project wizard for TWR-MCF5441X board and change the build configuration to TWR-MCF5441X_External_Flash

    2. Launch Flash Programmer 


      Use Flash File to Target and configure the Flash Programmer


      The Flash Configuration file can be found from within “CW MCU v10.1\MCU\bin\plugins\support\TargetTask\Flash_Programmer\ColdFire”


      Click Erase and Program to flash the U-boot to NAND Flash.

Thanks for this solution.  I had the same problem and just used CW 10.2 to update to a newer U-Boot version.  For some reason the version that came with the TWR-MCF5441x board was not able to TFTP a file across.

Oops, forget that about U-Boot TFTP, the problems was with the host setup.  The host had two IP addresses, asking for TFTP to one IP address resulted in being given a socket on the other IP address.  My mistake.  Other TFTP clients could handle this, but not U-Boot, hence initially why I thought the problem was with U-Boot.
