it by pressing the
Spacebar
. The Xmodem upload menu comes up indicating the progress of the
transfer.
;
NOTE:
The board waits for about 10 seconds
1
for the transfer to start and after that it times out.
So, if
you see that no transfer is occurring, that is probably the reason. Cancel, and retry the transfer.
The Bootloader is initially configured to create 3 partitions: 1) for itself, 2) for the boot parameters,
and 3) for the kernel. We now need to create a partition for the File System by entering the following
command at the Bootloader
boot>
prompt.
partition define root 0x00140000 0x01EC0000 16
You will see the following message confirming the action:
argv[1]=define
defining partition: root
Next, save this information in the Bootloader parameter section, by entering the following
command:
partition save
You will see the following message confirming the action:
argv[1]=save
programming flash...erasing ...
Erasing sector 00040000
writing flash..
addr: 00040000 data: 646C7470
verifying ... done.
Now, we verify if the partitions are created properly, by entering the following command:
partition show
You should now see the following message from the Bootloader confirming that the partition has
been successfully created.
npartitions=00000004
bootldr

To change the timeout value for File Transfer, use the following command on the Bootloader prompt:
set
xmodem_initial_timeout X00000
where,
X
is the number of seconds, for 15 seconds you would type
1500000
