Setting Description
Load Selections for the loader utility. The options are:
Options – default booting options (this section)
Compression – specification for zLib compression; applies to
ADSP-BF531/BF532/BF533/BF534, ADSP-BF536, and
ADSP-BF537 processors (see on page 2-55)
Kernel – specification for a second-stage loader (see
on page 2-77)
Splitter – specification for the no-boot mode (see
on page 2-79)
If you do not use the boot kernel for ADSP-BF535 processors, the Kernel
page appears with all kernel option fields grayed out. The loader
utility does not search for the boot kernel if you boot from the on-chip
ROM by setting the -no2kernel command-line switch as described
on page 2-69.
For
ADSP-BF531/BF532/BF533/BF534/BF536/BF537/BF538/BF539/
BF561/BF566, AD6531/AD6532/6900/6901/6902/6903 processors,
which do not have software boot kernels by default, select the boot kernel
to use one.
Boot mode Specifies flash/PROM, SPI, SPI slave, UART, or TWI as a boot source.
Boot format Specifies Intel hex, ASCII, include, or binary format.
Output width Specifies 8 or 16 bits.
If BMODE = 01 or 001 and flash/PROM is 16-bit wide, the 16-bit
option must be selected.
Start address Specifies a PROM/flash output start address in hex format for the application
code.
Verbose Generates status information as the loader utility processes the files.
