This port of U-Boot will run on a Motorola Sandpoint 3 development
system equipped with a Unity X4 PPMC card (MPC8240 CPU) only. It is a
snapshot of work in progress and far from being completed. In order
to run it on the target system, it has to be downloaded using the
DINK32 monitor program that came with your Sandpoint system. Please
note that DINK32 does not accept the S-Record file created by the
U-Boot build process unmodified, because it contains CR/LF line
terminators. You have to strip the CR characters first. There is a
tiny script named 'dinkdl' I created for this purpose.
The Sandpoint port is based on the work of Rob Taylor, who does not
seem to maintain it any more. I can be reached by mail as
tkoeller@gmx.net.

The port was tested on a Sandpoint 8240 X3 board, with U-Boot
installed in the flash memory of the CPU card. Please use the
following DIP switch settings:

Connect the BDI2000 Cable to the Sandpoint/Unity 8240:
BDM Pin 1 on the Unity 8240 processor board is towards the
PCI PMC connectors, or away from the socketed SDRAM, i.e.:

====================
PART 3)
Setting up the BDI2000, and preparing for TCP/IP network comms:
Connect the BDI2000 to the PC using the supplied serial cable.
Download the BDI2000 software and install it using setup.exe.
[Note: of course you can also use the Linux command line tool
"bdisetup" to configure your BDI2000 - the sources are included on
the floppy disk that comes with your BDI2000. Just in case you don't
have any Windows PC's - like me :-) -- wd ]
Power up the BDI2000; then follow directions to assign the IP
address and related network information. Note that U-Boot
will be loaded to the Sandpoint via tftp. You need to either
use the Abatron-provided tftp application or provide a tftp
server (e.g. Linux/Solaris/*BSD) somewhere on your network.
Once the IP address etc are assigned via the RS232 port,
further communication with the BDI2000 will happen via the
ethernet connection.
PART 4)
Making a TCP/IP network connection to the Abatron BDI2000:
Telnet to the Abatron BDI2000. Assuming that all of the
networking info was loaded via RS232 correctly, you will see
the following (scrolling):
- TARGET: waiting for target Vcc
- TARGET: waiting for target Vcc
PART 5)
Power up the target Sandpoint:
If the BDM connections are correct, the following will now appear:
- TARGET: waiting for target Vcc
- TARGET: waiting for target Vcc
- TARGET: processing power-up delay
- TARGET: processing user reset request
- BDI asserts HRESET
- Reset JTAG controller passed
- Bypass check: 0x55 => 0xAA
- Bypass check: 0x55 => 0xAA
- JTAG exists check passed
- Target PVR is 0x00810101
- COP status is 0x01
- Check running state passed
- BDI scans COP freeze command
- BDI removes HRESET
- COP status is 0x05
- Check stopped state passed
- Check LSRL length passed
- BDI sets breakpoint at 0xFFF00100
- BDI resumes program execution
- Waiting for target stop passed
- TARGET: Target PVR is 0x00810101
- TARGET: reseting target passed
- TARGET: processing target startup ....
- TARGET: processing target startup passed

PART 7)
Program the flash memory with the U-Boot image:
BDI>prog 0xFFF00000 u-boot.bin bin
Programming u-boot.bin , please wait ....
Programming flash passed
PART 8)
Connect PC to Sandpoint:
Using a crossover serial cable, attach the PC serial port to the
Sandpoint's COM1. Set communications parameters to 8N1 / 9600 baud.
PART 9)
Reset the Unity and begin U-Boot execution:
BDI>reset
- TARGET: processing user reset request
- TARGET: Target PVR is 0x00810101
- TARGET: reseting target passed
- TARGET: processing target init list ....
- TARGET: processing target init list passed
BDI>go
