SAM-BA

The SAM Boot Assistant (SAM-BA) comes with the AT91 In-system Programmer (ISP). It allows to program flash media through RS232, USB or Jtag SAM-ICE link. SAM-BA only runs on Windows.

SAM Boot Assistant(SAM-BA)는 AT91 In-system Programmer (ISP) 함께 제공된다. 그것은 RS232, USB, Jtag SAM-ICE link를 통해 flash media에 program을 가능하게 한다. SAM-BA는 Windows에서만 동작한다.

SAM-BA Linux initiative

A revision of SAM-BA is ported to Linux. It is at the side of the official SAM-BA ISP revision.
SAM-BA revision은 Linux에 ported되었다. 그것은 공식적인 SAM-BA revision 중 하나다.

SAM-BA Linux uses the USB connexion through CDC usbserial driver to communicate with the device.
SAM-BA Linux는 USB connection을 사용하며, device와 통신하기 위해 CDC usbserial driver를 통한다.

USB CDC Serial driver mount procedure :
USB CDC Serial driver의 mount 과정은 다음과 같다.

• Login with administrator rights
• administrator계정으로 login한다.

• Unload usbserial module if it is already running
• 이미 running 중이라면 usbserial module을 unload한다.

rmmod usbserial

• Load usbserial kernel module
• usbserial kernel module을 load한다.

modprobe usbserial vendor=0x03eb product=0x6124

• Verify that the USB connection is established
• USB connection이 연결되었는지 확인한다.

lsusb -d 03eb:6124    Bus 004 Device 006: ID 03eb:6124 Atmel Corp

• Know which USB connection is established
• USB conneciton이 연결되었음을 알린다.

dmesg    ...    kernel: usb 4-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 5    kernel: usb 4-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice    kernel: usbserial_generic 4-2:1.0: generic converter detected    kernel: usbserial_generic: probe of 4-2:1.0 failed with error -5    kernel: usbserial_generic 4-2:1.1: generic converter detected    kernel: usb 4-2: generic converter now attached to ttyUSBx

=> you will have to use /dev/ttyUSBx instead of \usb\ARM0 to connect to your board
     보드에 연결하기 위해 \usb\ARM0 대신 /dev/ttyUSBx를 사용해야 한다.

You can also use .tcl scripts from this flavor of SAM-BA. This is useful if you want to run GettingStarted#DemoArchiveBinaries demos.

 다른 방법으로 SAM-BA의 flavor로부터 .tcl scripts를 사용할 수 있다. 이것은  GettingStarted#DemoArchiveBinaries demo를 구동할 때 유용하다.

mkimage (U-Boot)

The mkimage U-Boot tool is used to convert a standard kernel image into uImage format needed by bootm U-Boot command.

Description	Sources	Binary
Pre-built static version of the u-boot mkimage tool	u-boot sources directory	mkimage

mkimage U-Boot tool은 standard kernel image를  bootm U-Boot command를 사용하기 위한 uImage format로 변환하기 위해 사용된다.

Make Not needed for newer U-Boot. Some newer version of make produce errors while compiling some older revision of U-Boot. The compiling of this old code has been validated with make-3.80 : Take it and compile it on your host machine (pace in /usr/local directory for example). You can use it calling the right binary while issuing the cross-compile command: 어떤 make의 새 버전은 U-Boot의 older revision을 컴파일하는 동안 errors가 발생한다. old code의 컴파일은 make-3.80 일때 유효하다. 그것을 받은 후, host machine에서 컴파일해라(pace in /usr/local directory for example). cross-compile command를 issuing 하는 동안 정확한 binary를 호출함으로써 사용 가능하다.  /usr/local/bin/make-3.80 CROSS_COMPILE=<path_to_cross-compiler/cross-compiler-prefix->   Description Sources Binary Pre-built static version of the make tool make sources directory make-3.80
