No, you would need to port u-boot to the hardware. The OMAP and the necessary built in peripherals shouldn't be a major problem, but you would have to get the rest of the hardware like the SDRAM and other bits & pieces initialized/configured before u-boot will run on the hardware. Be aware that you need to be very good and extremely lucky to load a new u-boot without bricking your n810. If you try flashing u-boot, you better have an alternate means of reloading the firmware (i.e. a JTAG debugger). I'm curious: why do you wish to replace the n810 firmware? The current firmware initializes the hardware and boots linux... those are the usual primary reasons for porting u-boot to new hardware. gvb P.S. I have a n800. It would be cool to have u-boot running on it, but I don't see the pain vs. gain paying off. > On Wed, Jun 18, 2008 at 11:34 AM, Menon, Nishanth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Ashish, >>> -----Original Message----- >>> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>> On Behalf Of Ashish Bijlani >>> Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2008 11:01 AM >>> To: [email protected] >>> Subject: [U-Boot-Users] u-boot on N810 >>> >>> - took u-boot (ELF) from TI's website for OMAP2420 >>> (http://linux.omap.com/pub/bootloader/h4/) >> Wrong here.
