Hi,
We have been porting our existing software running on an embedded Linux system to Inforce6601/Linux. One of the features we need is a system recovery -- which recovers failed system (possibly by miss-configuration, or corrupted filesystem, etc.).
The assumption is that the boot loader is still intact and working,
The recovery mode is kind like the fastboot mode, except that we would like to kick in to the mode by sending a special Ethernet packet to the boot loader. Out system will be embedded in a larger system so reaching to our board is very difficult, and Ethernet is the only communication method from the host.
The boot loader will need to poll the special packet for a certain period of time before loading the kernel.
So here are the questions:
Q1. Is the source code available for the boot loader (I assume it is called APPSBL)?
Q2. Is the boot loader specific to InForc6601, or is it common to Snapdragon820?
Thanks,
