Hello all, I have built a board that contains (besides a lot of other stuff) an AT91RM9200 and an AT45DB642 dataflash chip. Now I'm trying to code a homebrew boot loader. For a number of reasons, I cannot use U-boot. The boot loader works fine when loaded using a JTAG debugger (J-link), but it won't work when I try to load it using the boot ROM code that's built into the MCU. The MCU actuall...
