Running a demo from U-Boot

To allow Cortex-M accessing shared resources without experiencing Linux kernel conflicts, a dedicated device tree must be loaded.

To enable Cortex-M:

=> setenv use_ yes; saveenv

To disable Cortex-M:

=> setenv use_ no; saveenv

Binary demos must be loaded to the memory type used for linking.

To use TCM:

=> setenv _addr 0x7E0000; saveenv

To use DDR:

=> setenv _addr 0x7E000000; saveenv

To set the name of the Cortex-M binary

=> setenv _bin myapp.bin; saveenv

The .bin file is expected in the folder /boot of the booting media.

The U-Boot boot command will handle loading the Cortex-M firmware and start Linux for .

For testing, it is possible to run the firmware manually:

=> run loadbin && run runbin
