ARM software bootloading algorithm
2006-03-20 by Mukadder CEYHAN
Hi!
Instead of using on-chip bootloader of LPCARM devices,
I think it is possible to write a small application
that runs as if bootloader:
void main(void)
{
if(there_is_a_valid_program)
go_to_sector_to_run();
else
while(1) soft_boot_loader();
}
as in this example, the sector to run the program is
specified by the user and in fact it is an another
program in flash,programmed by soft_bootloader
algorithm.The flag in if can be checked or programmed
by the application, depending on the user program.
I want to realize this idea, but i did not search the
net for similar development.Any help will be useful to
do this. I want to make this for a project, especially
remote firmware update purposes...
