This directory contains support for flashing Intel(R) StrongARM(R)

Evaluation Boards (EBSA-285 and SA-IOP) over the PCI bus of a PC

running Linux.

There are two parts to this support: a loadable kernel module

and the flash utility.

The loadable kernel module is safl.o and the utility is

sa_flash.

To build:

  * cd to this directory.

  * make

This builds safl.o and sa_flash. The kernel module must be

installed and a device file created for it. Both of these

operations require root permissions.

Install the module by:

  % insmod safl.o

Create the device file by:

  % mknod /dev/safl c 10 178

Then, to flash an image onto the eval board:

  % sa_flash image_file

The eval boards must be configured for blank programming before

flashing them. The image is placed in the flash boot sector.
