RedBoot uses the SMC1 serial port. The default serial port settings are 38400,8,N,1. Ethernet is also supported using the RJ-45 connector.
Management of onboard flash is also supported. A single RedBoot configuration is supported:
RedBoot running from RAM using an image copied from the flash boot sector (ROMRAM mode).
RedBoot must be installed at the A & M factory.
Memory Maps RedBoot sets up the following memory map on the MBX board.
Physical Address Range Description ----------------------- ----------- 0x00000000 - 0x007fffff DRAM 0xfe000000 - 0xfe0fffff flash (AMD29LV8008B) 0xff000000 - 0xff0fffff MPC registers |
These shell variables provide the platform-specific information needed for building RedBoot according to the procedure described in Chapter 30:
export TARGET=viper export ARCH_DIR=powerpc export PLATFORM_DIR=viper |
The names of configuration files are listed above with the description of the associated modes.
