  • Project Log 2 2 LPC2148 USB Bootloader
    Project Log 2 Project Title: USB MicroSD Card Reader EEE G512 Embedded System Design October 2018 Submitted by: Submitted to: Joy Parikh j 2016A3PS0136P Dr. Devesh Samaiya Rutwik Narendra Jain j 2015A3PS0726P 2 LPC2148 USB Bootloader The LPC2148 USB bootloader performs three steps: 1. The bootloader checks to see if a USB cable has been plugged in. If the LPC2148 detects the presence of a USB cable then it initiates a USB Mass Storage system. This will cause the target board to appear on any computer platform as a removable flash drive. The user can then seamlessly transfer files to the flash drive. In the background, the LPC2148 moves the user's files onto the SD card using the FAT16 file system. 2. The next thing the bootloader does is look for a firmware file (a file named FW.SFE). This file contains the desired operating firmware (in a binary file format) for the LPC2148 mi- croprocessor. If the bootloader finds this file on the FAT16 system then it programs the contents of this file to the flash memory of the LPC2148. In this way, the bootloader acts as a \programmer" for the LPC2148; and we can upgrade the firmware on the LPC2148 simply by loading a new file onto the micro SD card. 3. After performing the first two checks, the bootloader calls the main firmware. The main code should not even know that the bootloader was used and will run normally. 2.1 Details The USB device class used is MSCD (Mass Storage Class Device). The MSCD presents easy integration with PC's operating systems.

Rev. 1.7 UG103.6: Bootloader Fundamentals Introduction 1. Introduction The bootloader is a program stored in reserved flash memory that can initialize a device, update firmware images, and possibly perform some integrity checks. Firmware image update occurs on demand, either by serial communication or over the air. Production-level pro- gramming is typically done during the product manufacturing process yet it is desirable to be able to reprogram the system after produc- tion is complete. More importantly, it is valuable to be able to update the device's firmware with new features and bug fixes after deploy- ment. The firmware image update capability makes that possible.

For example, application note AN3561, "USB Bootloader for the MC9S08JM60," describes a USB bootloader that was written for the Flexis JM family. The MSD bootloader described in this application note is offered as another option, and has these advantages: • It does not require a driver to be installed on the host. • It does not require an application to run on the host. • Any user can use it with a little training. The only action required is to copy a file onto a drive. • It can be used with many different host operating systems since it requires no host software or driver This bootloader was specifically written for several families of Freescale microcontrollers that share similar USB peripherals. These families include, but are not limited to, the following: • Flexis JM family MCF51JM © 2011 Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

  • Bootloader and Startup Feature Overview and Configuratoin Guide
    TechnicalTTechnicalechnical GuideGuidGuidee Bootloader and Startup Feature Overview and Configuration Guide The AlliedWare Plus™ Bootloader Every switch has a startup process. The end result of the startup is that the unit is running a specific version of the operating system software, with the features configured according to a specific startup configuration file. The startup process goes through two main phases: First, the switch boots up off a dedicated bootloader software image, which initializes core functionality of the unit. Then, the bootloader launches the main operating software image, and passes control over to this operating system. The bootloader is the executable code responsible for setting up the system and loading the operating system software. The bootloader is the software that runs the unit when it first powers up, performing basic initialization and executing the product software release. As part of the startup process of the switch, the bootloader allows you various options before running the product operating system software. C613-22004-00 x REV A alliedtelesis.com Products and software version that apply to this guide This guide applies to all AlliedWare Plus products, running version 5.4.4 or later.

  • Windows NT Network Management: Reducing Total Cost of Ownership - 9 - Performance Monitoring
    Windows NT ...: Reducing Total Cost of Ownership - Chapter 9 - Performance Monitorin Page 1 of 13 [Figures are not included in this sample chapter] Windows NT Network Management: Reducing Total Cost of Ownership - 9 - Performance Monitoring AN OLD ADAGE SAYS, "IF YOU can’t measure it, you can’t manage it." Even if you can measure something, how can you tell if your changes are making a difference if you don’t have baseline information? It’s important to monitor a server’s or work- station’s performance to maximize your investment in these tools. If a user complains that her computer is too slow, you often need more information to fix the problem. For example, if the problem is loading Web pages on a computer using an analog modem, the modem is probably limiting the system’s performance. However, if the computer is an older model, certain operations may wait for the CPU to finish processing. In this case, a complete system upgrade may be the best solution. The usefulness of performance monitoring goes far beyond handling user expectations. A network and systems administrator can use information obtained by analyzing the operations of existing hardware, software, and networking devices to predict the timing of upgrades, justify the cost of replacing and upgrading devices, and assist in troubleshooting. Performance monitoring ultimately reduces TCO and is a vital part of managing any IT environment. Performance monitoring helps answer important questions about your current environment. For example, you may want to know which activity specifically uses the most resources in your environment. If you determine that it is loading Web pages, then upgrading the RAM or the CPU speed of client machines may not help much.
