PM9G45 is a System-on-module (SoM) board in SODIMM204 format designed for embedded applications.

PM9G45 is using the Microchip (ATMEL) AT91SAM9G45 CPU with an ARM926EJ CPU running at 400MHz

Building at91bootstrap - second level bootloader for PM9G45

This bootloader is based on https://github.com/linux4sam/at91bootstrap, branch at91bootstrap-3.x

Install and setup the cross-compiler and CPU architecture

$ cd ~
$ mkdir bin
$ wget http://download.ronetix.at/toolchains/crosstool-ng/arm-ronetix-eabi-11.1.0.tar.gz
$ tar xvfz arm-ronetix-eabi-11.1.0.tar.gz --directory bin
$ export ARCH=arm
$ export CROSS_COMPILE=~/bin/arm-ronetix-eabi-11.1.0/bin/arm-ronetix-eabi-

Clone the latest revision of the repo

$ git clone git@github.com:ronetix/at91bootstrap.git -b at91bootstrap-3.10.4_rnx
$ cd at91bootstrap

Configure and build for booting of U-BOOT

$ make pm9g45_nf_uboot_defconfig
$ make

Configure and build for booting of Linux Kernel

$ make pm9g45_nf_linux_defconfig
$ make
