Hi,

I have two questions about bootloader in TE0300-01IBMLP. I want to boot from bram, copy code to ram, and then jump to execute that code.

1) If I use the "copyandbuild_boot.bat" tool, it generates a firmware.fwu file. Can I upload this FWU to the module using the "USBFirmwareUpgradeTool.exe" or I have to do it with jtag?


2) The "copyandbuild_boot.bat" tool use a "download.bit" file. Is it a only implementation bitstream, a bitstream with the bootloader or a bitstream with a bootloop?

Thank you very much, and sorry for my english.

You can upload FWU (FirmWare Upgrade) files just with FUT (Firmware Upgrade Tool). Impact/JTAG do not know about FWU files.

THank you very much Horsa. I know that. But "copyandbuild_boot.bat" tool generates a fwu file and it tries to program a combined mcs file with jtag. I would like to know if the fwu file generated by copyandbuild_boot.bat can be programmed via usb without problems.

Thank you Horsa. As far as I known if the code will be execute from bram (a bootloop or bootloader, for example), the .bit can contain the code too. Is that right?

Yes, you are right:
impact -batch impact\burnspiprom_jtag.cmd
