C5416 Bootloader

Hi,

>Can you explain me why the Bootloader need an Boot Table ?
It's a way to communicate. Otherwise how could TI's bootloader know where to get your code, and where to start the code execution etc.. Well, the bootloader can specify a fixed address to load the code from and a fixed length of code size and a fixed entry point to start the code. BUT, he chose to look smarter and give you a bit more flexibility. So he let you to decide all those things and put it in the boot table so he could fetch those info.

>... and how to do one ?
Depends on which interface you want to use. For example, if you want to use 16bit parallel boot, then just
1)build a boot table according to fig 6 of SPRA602D;
2)put the boot table into data space, keep record of the boot table starting address, say yyyy;
3)put the boot table address yyyy at I/O space 0ffffh;

You are done.Good luck, long way to go.Jane-----Original Message-----
