Hello,

Does U-boot have support for Cortex-M3?
Or is it available in terms of patch, if yes how can I get it?

It will be very helpful to me.

Thanks,
Pratik.

Cortex M3 is a CPU architecture, not a specific CPU or board type.

Not exactly. M3 is a core; the architecture in ARM parlance is armv7-M.

Still, what does your statement try to imply?

I don't think U-Boot has support for M3, but that's not related to M3 being a core.

Amicalement,

Dear Albert:

Let me try. U-Boot is a "board oriented" bootloader. So, with that said, can you tell us what "boards" might use an M3 or armv7-M?

When I say boards, I mean those boards one can buy from Freescale, Intel, TI, Digikey or others.

Given a "board" name, it gets easier to answer your question.

Hi Pratik,

ST provided In Application Programming via USART. Search for application node AN2557, it is used to boot uClinux. But you may take a look to
https://github.com/leaflabs/maple-bootloader
if you intent to create your board-support in u-boot :)
