Flashing multiple applications

Started by sinc...@yahoo.co.uk June 11, 2009
My question is not related to any particular processor. I have to flash multiple applications (to different locations) on to the flash memory on my board and boot the processor from which ever location using some switching process. Flashing part can be done. But how to make the processor boot from different locations. Has anyone done a similar thing ? I am using TS 201 processor.
I can't speak specifically to the TS201, but one way is to create your
own bootloader program. It would be loaded by the standard loader and
then work in a similar fashion as the default loader but would vector to
whatever application you have selected. I know you could do this with
Sharcs and Blackfins.
