I used ARMBOOT on the EPXA-Dev.-Board before and want to use U-BOOT on the Cogent CSB337 Development Board now.

Is there a port available for the CSB337 Dev. Board, which is similar to the AT91RM9200DK or can I just use the at91rm9200dk_config ?

What has to be done to get U-BOOT running on this board ?

Port U-Boot to that board.

I ported u-boot (quick, and really dirty) to the csb337 a few weeks ago, but seeing many posts from people who are actually working on a at91rm9200 cleanup, I decided to leave it as it is for the time being. It uses the approach seen in Atmels solution for the -DK board, with a primary bootloader initializing clocks and memory, and then uncompressing an u-boot image to RAM.
It supports flash writing (through the cfi driver), and downloading via ethernet. I've been able to jump into a linux kernel image, which paniced at some point, but I'm not sure if that's the bootloaders fault, or just a misconfigured kernel.
If you want to have a look at it, and need something that works, no matter how bad, you can find it at http://mmd.ath.cx/csb337-boot/
The document there should explain what I did and why (flash layout, ...)

Regards,

Dominic

Hello

I have also ported u-boot to the csb337 (2-3 months ago), but I was also waiting for the arm920 cleanup to settle before submitting any patches.

BTW I do not use the ATMEL approach (primary bootloader).
