Information on machines supported by the build system
ARM
We support a range of different embedded ARM boards, using a range of different processors.
Pleb2
PLEB 2 is a single board computer designed to provide a platform on which both academic research and application implementation can be accomplished. It has been based on PLEB. More information is available on the PLEB2 website.
The Pleb 2 uses U-boot bootloader, and is simulated using the skyeye simulator. It is based on the XScale processor.
When you build the Pleb2 image you get a bootimg.bin file. You then need to copy this to address 0xa0008000 on the board. You can do this either using uploadover serial, or using the network card. For example using the network card:
$ tftpboot 0xa0008000 benno.bin $ go 0xa0008000
IPAQ H3100, H3600, H3700, H3800 (SA1100-based IPAQs)
We currently support IPAQs with the StrongARM (sa1100) processor. To boot this machine you will need the ARM bootloader version 2.21.12 installed on your IPAQ. See http://familiar.handhelds.org/releases/v0.8.2/install/bootldr.html for more information on installing the bootloader:
boot> load ram 0xc0008000 (start ymodem) boot> jump 0xc0008000
Alternatively if you can boot from a cfcard:
boot> vfat read 0xc0008000 boot/bootimage boot> jump 0xc0008000
