ARM/ARM7 Atmel JTST Evaluation Board (AT572D740-DK1)

Overview

RedBoot support is available for the JTST board. By default this board is shipped with 256Kbytes of external SRAM. To minimize the amount of RAM used by RedBoot, only very basic flash management is provided, comprising of just the fis erase and fis write commands.

RedBoot supports two serial ports. The default serial port settings for RedBoot are 115200,8,N,1.

The following RedBoot configurations are supported:

Installing a RedBoot image on the JTST

This development board comes with RedBoot installed on flash. To install a new version of RedBoot or another binary image in flash you must start a GDB session setting a remote target and load and run the jtstflashd.elf diopsis application. This is a daemon that listens on JTST serial port 1. On the PC side you must use the jtstflash.exe (both linux and windows PC are supported) to flash the image on JTST. The sources for win32 and linux/cygwin versions of this host tool can be found in the support directory of the jtst hal. The binaries can be found along with the binaries for redboot on the eCos website at http://ecos.sourceware.org/ecos/boards/redbootbins/at91jtst/

When the jtstflashd.elf is started, the user should open the jumper JP5 to write in the second half (512Kbytes) of the flash, in this way the original RedBoot image is preserved.

Memory Maps

This processor has no MMU, so the only memory map is for physical addresses.

The memory layout of the JTST after bootstrap is as follows:

Physical Address Range     Description
-----------------------    ----------------------------------
0x00000000 - 0x00007fff    On-chip SRAM
0x00500000 - 0x0057ffff    Flash
