Abstract

The ARM CortexTM-A8 processor is a high-performance, low-power, cached application processor that implements ARMv7-A architecture and provides full virtual memory capabilities. This paper describes the process of booting S5PC100 processor integrating an ARM CortexTM-A8, briefly introduces hardware environment of the target board cored with S5PC100 processor and an approach to build software developing environment for this embedded system, especially analyzes the process of U-Boot booting based on S5PC100 processor and the major steps of transplanting U-Boot to the target platform. U-Boot was transplanted successfully.
