I am an "old school" embedded hardware geek... In my world real men write all firmware from scratch using "C"... (or at least start from hello_world.c found in some eval kit) I'm totally lost in the Linux world...
Where is my jtag debugger and where do I plug it in. I'm ready to fire up the IDE in Eclipse and download some code...
I have inherited an EPD based system designed by someone else, using bits and pieces of the iMX508 EVK design. What I would like to do is learn how to write UBOOT code... That seems like the world I'm comfortable in.
I have another colleague working on the Linux stuff... My job is to verify that the HW is working right and help with software if he gets desperate.
Unfortunately, I do not have access to an iMX508 EVK right now... only the HW based on the EVK...
Someone point me in the right direction to start UBOOT code development. Do I need to purchase a compiler from Freescale or do I just use the Linux compiler stuff for UBOOT development.
The HW I have right now runs a version of UBOOT from a plug-in SD card. I need to add some additional commands of my own. Unfortunately, right now, I do not have access to this source code...I'm working on getting it...
Can I download a version of UBOOT source code for the iMX508 EVK and start from there?
Signed...
At the bottom of the learning curve... looking up for help...
