Re: ST ARMs

OK, thanks.
But does exist a 'general' (yet-done) STFamily bootloader (i mean like the
LPCxxxx Philips bootloader) that allow me, at least, to upload a test
program on RAM via serial port ?

Thanks again !!

Hi all,
is possible to program ST family ARMs with port other than JTAG ?
Is it available a bootloader ?

Thanks !

The booloader is in charge to initialize the memory, the mass storage
unit (HDD, flash, network, etc..), copy your OS from this unit to
memory, fill some structure (depending of the OS) and jump to the OS
start address.

The bootloader code depends on:
- your hardware
- your CPU (should be arm)
- your OS

So there is no real generic bootloader. The available bootloader may
provide you some code to partition the flash or for the higher layers
of network, and if you are lucky something for your specific hardware.

You will have great difficulty (I think impossible) to develop a
bootloader without a JTAG controller.
