Resource Usage

The flash based RedBoot image occupies virtual addresses 0x50000000 - 0x5000ffff. The RAM based RedBoot image occupies virtual addresses 0x10000 - 0x2ffff. RAM addresses from 0x30000 to the end of RAM are available for general use such as a temporary scratchpad for downloaded images before they are written to flash.

The SA11x0 OS timer is used as a polled timer to provide timeout support for XModem file transfers.

Rebuilding RedBoot

The instructions in Chapter 3 should be followed. The values for TARGET, ARCH_DIR and PLATFORM_DIR on this platform are “sa1100mm”, “arm” and “sa11x0/sa1100mm” respectively. Note that the configuration export files supplied in the hal/arm/sa11x0/sa1100mm/VERSION/misc directory in the RedBoot source tree should be used.
