OMAP3530: Flashing tools

GoogleGroups
1

Hello Friends,

I was wondering if it were possible to nand-flash images without the
need to use jtag.

Are there OST like tools available for OMAP3530 which me let me flash
my xloader and standalone application.

I would like the omap bootrom to pickup my xloader which in turn must
be able to load the standalone application.

Best regards,
SS

Yes, it is. Most of Beaglers don't have JTAG.

Don't know what OST is.

You can boot from SD card and then write NAND with U-Boot:

This is the predecessor of CSST tool for SDP platforms - used to be
present for 1610/1710 days. 2420,2430 and 3430 SDP platforms uses CSST -
which happens to be a windows only tool.
