Boot loader via SD Card?

[Interactive_Matter]

Has anybody implemented (or at least think of) an XMOS boot loader from SD card?
Would be great since it makes firmware updates much easier.

The XDK reference software has something like that i believe.

Hi Marcus,

This is correct - the XDK has an SD bootloader in FLASH. It loads XDK.XB from the SD card and executes it.

The XB file is a stripped XE file (xobjdump --strip input.xe) with the ELF content in binary ready for execution.

Ok,
looked there, did not find it. Can someone give me the right link. It seems I am a tad too dumb to download the software ;)

Thanks

I assume you get it when you buy one :).

You might want to take a look at:
https://www.xcore.com/projects/xs1-l2-custom-loader
https://www.xcore.com/projects/mox-os-m ... ing-system

but neither is in a ready to use state for your requirements i believe.

Publish or perish!

As soon as I got a bit more time and contributed a bit more I will asks XMOS to release it open source. To usefull to be hidden. ;)
