2Introduction to the WinCE 6.0

system

2.1 Image files related to the SBC6300X

WinCE 6.0 system

If the WinCE system is customized using the SBC6300X WinCE 6.0 BSP

that we provide and the compilation is successfully finished, the system

will generate 6 image files, i.e.: FIRSTBOOT.nb0, EBOOT.nb0, NK.nb0,

FIRSTBOOT.bin, EBOOT.bin, NK.bin, of which 4 files are usually used in

burning processes, i.e.: FIRSTBOOT.nb0, EBOOT.nb0, NK.nb0, NK.bin. The files

generated in .nb0 format will finally be burnt to DataFlash or NAND Flash,

and they can directly run in SDRAM; while the files in .bin format must

first be converted into .nb0 files by EBOOT running on SBC6300X main

board nb0, they are then burnt to DataFlash or NAND Flash.

2.2 Working principles of the SBC6300X

WinCE 6.0 system

At present, our SBC6300X WinCE 6.0 BSP supports two booting modes,

i.e.: SPI DataFlash and NAND flash. Below is their rough booting flow

chart:

Figure 1: Booting Flowchart

2.2.1 Principles for booting the SBC6300X WinCE 6.0 system

from DataFlash

After power on, the system inside the CPU ROMBOOT will

automatically copy the FIRSTBOOT image (the first-level user booting

code) from the SPI DataFlash 0x00000000 address to the SRAM inside

the CPU and execute it. FIRSTBOOT’s role is to initialize SDRAM

memory, SPI DataFlash, and copy EBOOT, the second-level user booting

code from the SPI DataFlash 0x00005000 address to SDRAM on the

SBC6300X main board and execute it; FIRSTBOOT also copies the Logo

from the SPI DataFlash 0x00100000 address of the SBC6300X main

board to SDRAM. In its default state, EBOOT will automatically copy the

WinCE system image NK from the NAND flash 0x00200000 address to

the SDRAM on the SBC6300X main board, and hand over system control

to the operating system. In addition, EBOOT undertakes the

management operations of the underlying hardware and shares the data

settings with the operating system.

2.2.2 Principles for booting the SBC6300X WinCE 6.0 system

from NAND Flash

After power on, the system inside the CPU ROMBOOT will automatically

copy the FIRSTBOOT image (the first-level user booting code) from the

Page | 4

SPI NAND flash 0x00000000 address to the SRAM inside the CPU and

execute it. FIRSTBOOT’s role is to initialize SDRAM memory, SPI NAND ,

and copy EBOOT, the second-level user booting code from the NAND Flash

0x00020000 address to SDRAM on the SBC6300X main board and execute

it; FIRSTBOOT also copies the Logo from the NAND flash 0x00080000

address of the SBC6300X main board to SDRAM. In its default state,

EBOOT will automatically copy the WinCE system image NK from the

NAND flash 0x00200000 address to the SDRAM on the SBC6300X main

board, and hand over system control to the operating system. In addition,

EBOOT undertakes the management operations of the underlying

hardware and shares the data settings with the operating system.

2.3 The Flash Address of System Image Files

2.3.1 When booted from DataFlash

If you choose to boot from Data flash:

FIRSTBOOT is located at the beginning of the 0x00000000 address

of SPI DataFlash, the capacity of FIRSTBOOT is 4KB;

EBOOT is located at the beginning of the 0x00005000 address of

SPI DataFlash, the capacity of EBOOT is 200KB;

The Logo is saved at the beginning of the 0x00100000 address of

SPI DataFlash;

WinCE system image files NK is located in NAND flash in an area of

40MB starting from the 0x00200000 address.

The area in NAND flash outside of this 40MB will provide functionality as a

NAND flash hard disk under the WinCE system. Therefore, users can

customize a WinCE system of no more than 40MB. If you need to store a

WinCE system bigger than 40MB or need reduce the NAND flash partition

reserved for WinCE system images, please feel free to contact our

technicians for assistance.

2.3.2 When booted from NAND flash

If you choose to boot from NAND flash:

FIRSTBOOT is located at the beginning of the 0x00000000 address

of the NAND Flash, the capacity of FIRSTBOOT is 4KB;

EBOOT is located at the beginning of the 0x00020000 address of

the NAND flash, the capacity of EBOOT is 200KB;

The Logo is saved at 0x00080000 of the NAND Flash; WinCE

system images are located in NAND Flash in an area of 40MB

starting from the 0x00200000 address.

The area in NAND Flash after the 0x2860000 address will provide

functionality for use as a NAND Flash hard disk under the WinCE system.

Therefore, users can customize a WinCE system of no more than 40MB. If

you need store a WinCE system of bigger than 40MB or need reduce the

NAND Flash partition reserved for WinCE system images, please feel free

to contact our technicians for assistance.

3Burning a WinCE System

3.1 Introduction to Burning System Image

Files

The SBC6300X WinCE 6.0 BSP supports two burning modes:

1. Burn FIRSTBOOT, EBOOT and WinCE system image NK using

the SAM-BA software provided by ATMEL;

2. Connect VS2005 WinCE 6.0 development environment installed

on client development workstation or other TFTP servers (e.g.:

CEDownload.exe) to the SBC6300X main board, burn WinCE

system image files NK via net cable using EBOOT on the

SBC6300X (the EBOOT on the SBC6300X WinCE 6.0 BSP

doesn’t support the burning of user booting codes FIRSTBOOT

and EBOOT, it can only burn the WinCE system image file

NK.bin).

Note:

If you use EBOOT as the user booting code on the SBC6300X main board to

WinCE system image file NK, the actual process will be, EBOOT, the user

booting code on SBC6300X main board will first download WinCE system

image file NK.bin that VS2005 WinCE 6.0 generates from TFTP server running

on the development workstation to the SDRAM on the SBC6300X main board

via Ethernet cable, then the file will be converted into NK.nb0 before being

burnt to NAND flash. The TFTP server mentioned here can be the server

provided in VS2005 WinCE 6.0 development environment or other TFTP

servers. Please note that the port parameter of the TFTP server that you use

is 980 instead of 69, the standard TFTP port. The software CEDownload.exe,

which we will describe in Section 3.4 below is a TFTP server software, which

has changed the default TFTP port from 69 into 980.

3.2 Booting from DataFlash

3.2.1 Install the SAM-BA software

Install the AT91-ISP v1.12.exe application (located in \03 WinCE 6.0

Kit\04 Tools\) on the SBC6300X CD to your development workstation
