=====================================

|
|
|
|
|
|
Open Flash loader is an implementation in NuttX that bridges the device
|
|
|
|
|
drivers in NuttX with the programming methods of a flash loader in J-Link.
|
|
|
|
|
It allows J-Link to program any supported NuttX device driver.

```CONFIG_DISABLE_IDLE_LOOP`` is used to disable the idle loop in NuttX.
|
|
|
|
|
```CONFIG_SYSTEM_OFLOADER``` is used to enable the Open Flash Loader.
|
|
|
|
|
```CONFIG_SYSTEM_OFLOADER_TABLE``` is used to configure the flash device

first parameter is the device name, second parameter is the start address.

The reference configuration "stm32f429i-disco:ofloader" is designed
|
|
|
|
|
to be used with the STM32F429I-DISCO board in NuttX,
|
|
|
|
|
enabling the Open Flash loader functionality. This configuration allows
|
|
|
|
|
the J-Link flash loader to program the NuttX image onto the STM32F429I-DISCO board.

Usage
|
|
|
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
|
1. Build NuttX with Open Flash Loader.
|
|
|
|
|
2. Configure the Jlink xml file. like

|
|
|
|
<Database>
|
|
|
|
|
<Device>
|
|
|
|
|
<ChipInfo Vendor="STM32NUTTX" Name="NuttX" Core="JLINK_CORE_CORTEX_M4" WorkRAMAddr="0x20000000" WorkRAMSize="0x10000000" />
|
|
|
|
|
<FlashBankInfo Name="Storage" BaseAddr="0x00000000" MaxSize="0xffffffff" Loader="/home/ajh/work/vela_all/nuttx/nuttx" LoaderType="FLASH_ALGO_TYPE_OPEN" AlwaysPresent="1"/>

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Use ``JLinkExe -if SWD -speed 4000 -device STM32NUTTX``,
|
|
|
|
|
then ``loadbin /home/ajh/work/nuttx.bin 0x08000000``,
|
|
|
|
|
we can flash nuttx.bin to /dev/flash

Precautions
|
|
|
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.If you need to implement the ofloader on a different board,
|
|
|
|
|
you will need to read the `wiki <https://wiki.segger.com/SEGGER_Flash_Loader>`
|
|
|
|
|
and refer to the implementation of "ofloader.ld" linker script located
|
|
|
|
|
in the "boards/arm/stm32/stm32f429i-disco/scripts" directory.
|
|
|
|
|
This linker script defines how the different sections of the NuttX image are placed in memory.
|
|
|
|
|
You should configure the corresponding sections to be located in RAM,
|
|
|
|
|
where the J-Link can write the image correctly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2.When running the ofloader, J-Link disables any interrupts by default.
|
|
|
|
|
Therefore, currently, it does not support programming devices with interrupt-driven drivers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3.Due to limitations of J-Link, the ofloader image file cannot exceed 64KB.
|
|
|
|
|
It is essential to be mindful of this constraint during programming.
|
|
|
|
