Source code for the Romboot

Started by John Hou December 17, 2009
All,

I am new to AT91SAM9263. Right now I have an AT91SAM9263-EK. I tried to understand the boot process of the board. Does any one know what are the codes in the ROM, I meant the romboot codes? I read theBoot Program Algorithm Flow Diagramin the the datasheet. I would like to see the source codes.

Thanks,

John
Hi John, I'm afraid Atmel will not disclose this source code. Since the
process and functionality are well documented, why do you still want the
source?

Weiguo,
 
Thanks a lot for the response. Seems you are very familiar with this chip. I read your responses to this group and you are really helpful. 
You are right. ATMEL may not want to release the souce code. I am just curious.
 
Thanks,
 
John

No-vendor gives source for their ROM images, why should Atmel?
