hi! 
Iam booting my BF532 board with spi flash(at25f2048) with spi boot mode.... 

i didn't get any programmer to program the flash ,,,so, based on the datasheet i have
programmed(stored the loader file) the flash memory by using microcontroller....now i want to
boot the processor from SPI flash.....I don't have much experiance in this...first time iam
doing...... 

Now iam unable to know when the boot process is completed and the processor executing my
code...out put is not came....i don't know what 's the problem.... 

After storing the loader into the flash i just switch on the bf532 with bootmode set 11 ...this
is the thing i have done actually.... 

my problem is i don't know now how to trouble shoot it.... 
in the datasheet they have given that for thsi mode the baud rate should be 500khz....processor
when it try boot it only set the baudrate or anything we need to do for that..... 

any other troubleshooting techniques......

If you have an oscilliscope it will help a lot.  Make sure all the lines
are connected right and there is no noise on them.  If that looks right,
make sure the number of clock pulses per byte is correct.  Once you are
sure the hardware is correct, you can begin to look at the software side.

You first need to ensure that the correct number of bytes is being
transfered.  If that looks good, make sure that the reset vector address
has a jump to the correct start location.

After that, use a flag bit to toggle the scope to tell you "I made it this
far" into the code.  Binary search will help you quickly find where things
break - it makes half way thru the boot process or it doesn't, it makes it
1/4 of the way or it doesn't....  It does not take long to find the place
you messed up!

Good luck!

We have a new Blackfin/Sharc programmer that will support these devices. 
It's being released late this month. Email us if you are interested.

Writing drivers like this can be a little tricky.  There are a few ap 
notes on the ADI web site that  address this issue.  We  like to use a 
four channel scope or logic analyzer  to look at the  four SPI lines  to 
make sure that the SPI configuration is set correctly. You can also look 
at the first few bytes of data this way.

I would set the scope to trigger on the falling edge of PF2 (SS).

If PF2 is always high, you do not have SPI configured correctly (and you 
won't trigger).

Pullups on MISO & SCK is good. I would also pull up PF2 and MOSI but 
this is not your current problem.

First thank u for reply.........

in my hardware i have connected MISO pin to Vcc(3.3) through 10k resistor and same is the case
with SCK....

I have observed what is happening with the OSC what i have seen is:
PF2=high 
MISO=high
SCK=high
MOSI=LOw

Nothing is happening.....
regarding the loader file i have some doubts iam wriring here.........

1.Either We have to use the on-chip boot kernel option or not......
2.we have to use any initialisation code or not....because they have given 
  that for SPI booting SPI baudrate it will assume 500KHZ....and for my 
   SPI memory CPOL=CPHA=1;but after reset the processor is having  
   CPOL=0;CPHA=1; and SPI is disabled.......

thank u for reply.......

iam little bit weak at my english.................so, for some time bare with me..

According to datasheet

After reset is applied SPI will be in disabled condition...............................

I have seen in  one document that the On-chip boot kernel will take care of these
things(configuring boot source according to boot mode ).....they have
written....................................................

and  if i want to configure SPI before booting means how it will be possible....because after
the processor booting completed only whatever code i

 have written it will run....

for booting to happen itself we have to configure the SPI.........

Malli,

You need to read EE240, if you haven't done so already.  It describes the
different boot modes including Master Mode SPI booting (ie where your code
is in a SPI flash).  The BMODE pins are set to 11.  The on chip boot ROM
will configure the SPI peripheral during booting based on the BMODE
settings.  All you need to do is to make sure the appropriate pullups are on
the various pins (such as MISO and PF2).  The only other thing to do is to
get your application converted to an appropriate loader file (ie for Master
SPI booting, and typically an Intel Hex file) and then loaded into the SPI
flash.  Most people use the Flash Programmer Utility through VDSP++.  You
would need to create a customized flash programmer application for your
Flash device, but ADI provides source codes for the EZKIT versions and you
would just need to modify that to match the Flash device you are using.   We
have developed custom Flash drivers for various Flash devices to be used
with the Flash Programmer Utility.  Let me know if you needed some help (for
hire) for creating a customized driver.

Good luck,

Have you looked at:

There might be something in there that will help.
