35There are only 2 eth port installed on the boards.
36
37There are separate PLLs to drive clocks to Tetris ARM and Peripherals.
38To bring up SMP Linux on this board, there is a boot monitor
39code that will be installed in MSMC SRAM. There is command available
40to install this image from u-boot.

84Load and Run U-Boot on keystone EVMs using CCS
85=========================================
86
87Need Code Composer Studio (CCS) installed on a PC to load and run u-boot.bin
88on EVM. See instructions at below link for installing CCS on a Windows PC.
89http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/MCSDK_UG_Chapter_Getting_Started#
90Installing_Code_Composer_Studio
91Use u-boot.bin from the build folder for loading and running u-boot binary
92on EVM. Follow instructions at
93K2HK http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/EVMK2H_Hardware_Setup
94K2E  http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/EVMK2E_Hardware_Setup
95K2L  http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/TCIEVMK2L_Hardware_Setup
96
97to configure SW1 dip switch to use "No Boot/JTAG DSP Little Endian Boot Mode"
98and Power ON the EVM.  Follow instructions to connect serial port of EVM to
99PC and start TeraTerm or Hyper Terminal.
100
101Start CCS on a Windows machine and Launch Target
102configuration as instructed at http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/
103MCSDK_UG_Chapter_Exploring#Loading_and_Running_U-Boot_on_EVM_through_CCS.
104The instructions provided in the above link uses a script for
105loading the u-boot binary on the target EVM. Instead do the following:-
106
1071. Right click to "Texas Instruments XDS2xx USB Emulator_0/CortexA15_1 core (D
108   is connected: Unknown)" at the debug window (This is created once Target
109   configuration is launched) and select "Connect Target".
1102. Once target connect is successful, choose Tools->Load Memory option from the
111   top level menu. At the Load Memory window, choose the file u-boot.bin
112   through "Browse" button and click "next >" button. In the next window, enter
113   Start address as 0xc001000, choose Type-size "32 bits" and click "Finish"
114   button.
1153. Click View -> Registers from the top level menu to view registers window.
1164. From Registers, window expand "Core Registers" to view PC. Edit PC value
117   to be 0xc001000. From the "Run" top level menu, select "Free Run"
1185. The U-Boot prompt is shown at the Tera Term/ Hyper terminal console as
119   below and type any key to stop autoboot as instructed :=

132SPI NOR Flash programming instructions
133======================================
134U-Boot image can be flashed to first 512KB of the NOR flash using following
135instructions:
136
1371. Start CCS and run U-boot as described above.
1382. Suspend Target. Select Run -> Suspend from top level menu
139   CortexA15_1 (Free Running)"
1403. Load u-boot-spi.gph binary from build folder on to DDR address 0x87000000
141   through CCS as described in step 2 of "Load and Run U-Boot on K2HK/K2E/K2L
142   EVM using CCS", but using address 0x87000000.
1434. Free Run the target as described earlier (step 4) to get u-boot prompt
1445. At the U-Boot console type following to setup u-boot environment variables.
145   setenv addr_uboot 0x87000000
146   setenv filesize <size in hex of u-boot-spi.gph rounded to hex 0x10000>
147   run burn_uboot_spi
148   Once u-boot prompt is available, Power OFF the EVM. Set the SW1 dip switch
149   to "SPI Little Endian Boot mode" as per instruction at
150   http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/*_Hardware_Setup.
1516. Power ON the EVM. The EVM now boots with u-boot image on the NOR flash.
152
153AEMIF NAND Flash programming instructions
154======================================
155U-Boot image can be flashed to first 1024KB of the NAND flash using following
156instructions:
157
1581. Start CCS and run U-boot as described above.
1592. Suspend Target. Select Run -> Suspend from top level menu
160   CortexA15_1 (Free Running)"
1613. Load u-boot-nand.gph binary from build folder on to DDR address 0x87000000
162   through CCS as described in step 2 of "Load and Run U-Boot on K2HK EVM
163   using CCS", but using address 0x87000000.
1644. Free Run the target as described earlier (step 4) to get u-boot prompt
1655. At the U-Boot console type following to setup u-boot environment variables.
166   setenv filesize <size in hex of u-boot-nand.gph rounded to hex 0x10000>
167   run burn_uboot_nand
168   Once u-boot prompt is available, Power OFF the EVM. Set the SW1 dip switch
169   to "ARM NAND Boot mode" as per instruction at
170   http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/*_Hardware_Setup.
1716. Power ON the EVM. The EVM now boots with u-boot image on the NAND flash.
