View source for Burnning BIOS into Tiny6410

==boot mode selection==
The boot mode of Tiny6410 is selected by the toggle switch S2, according to the symbol near the toggle switch S2.  <br>

System will be booted from SD card when S2 is toggled to SDBOOT side;<br>
System will be booted from Nand Flash when S2 is toggled to NAND side;<br>

Instruction: The S3C6410 chip support many boot modes: Nor Flash, normal Nand Flash, OneNand, SD/MMC Card, even Modem(reference 6410 datasheet table3-1 ),but we only set the “Nand Flash” and “SD/MMC” based on ease of use.

==external interface==
*Please use the direct serial port cable we provide to connect serial port 0 on 6410 with PC serial port.
*Please use the crossed network cable we provide to connect network interface on 6410 with PC

==Burn the BIOS to SD card==
The blank SD card can’t boot 6410 development board, the BIOS must be burned into the SD card using the specific burning application and the BIOS cannot be directly seen on your computer.  SUMSUNG has provided such burning application that most of the 6410 development board use by now: IROM_SD_Fusing_tool.exe, you can find the source code in the CD-ROM. Owing to its limitation and insecurity, Friendly Arm develop another application SD-Flasher.exe, more secure and powerful.

==BIOS intro==
===U-boot===
SUMSUNG has provided the U-boot with USB download function for 6410 system, Friendly ARM improves its function and open source for the benefit of embedded hobbyist. The feature is below;<br>
#add the download menu as superboot USB download menu
#add the SD card boot configuration
#support burning yaffs2 file system image
#support Nboot for burning WindowsCE Bootloader
#support burning WindowsCE imge
#support burning singe file image
#support returning to shell

===Superboot===
in addition to the open source U-boot, for enterprises, we have also designed the powerful Superboot which can be burned to SD card. Because the function menu and order of Tiny6410 is almost same as Mini2440, it is handy to use its USB download function on Mini6440 even without installing the USB driver and DNW application.<br>

Superboot also support installing and running system with SD card. With no USB and DNW needed, you are able to install and run a variety of systems with modifying the configuration file. <br>

In addition, you don’t need to worry about your computer system is WindowsXP, Vista , windows7, even 64-bit Windows7, SD-flasher could work with them.

==Burn BIOS based on WindowsXP==
Note: Some customer report that some SD reader build in Notebook can’t work, in this case, you can try to use the common USB reader.<br>

in addition, SD-Flasher will partition 130M for free space at least, as a result , some SD card less that 256M can’t work, we recommend the 4GB SD card at least, because the image file is quite large. <br>

Step1;Run the SD-flasher.exe located in \tools\ in the CD-ROM, please note the “Relayout” and “Reformat” button is invalid, we disable the function in windows XP.

Step4:Click “Fuse”, the superboot will be burned in SD card.

Superboot can’t be seen after its been burned in SD card. How can we detect it? Plug the SD card into the development board and set the switch S2 to “SDBOOT” side. After power-on, the flickering Led1 indicates the superboot working. If the LED1 doesn’t flash or no output show in serial monitor, it means the burning failed.

For booting Tiny210 development board via SD card, you need to use SD-Flasher to burn Superboot-210 into SD card(located in images/Superboot210.bin)<br>

Superboot can be burn into SD card or Nand Flash , because it is capable of identifying SD card boot and Nand Flash boot. 


==Burn BIOS based on Windows7==
Step1: Run the SD-flasher.exe located in \tools\ in the CD-ROM, please note you need to run it as administrator.
