beginner questions.


hello,
  I am working on a TI omap processor board, it's my first arm project, and
biggest in scale... I was doing 8bit mcu before. so please forgive my
dumbness.

first of all i installed a prebuilt redboot and kernel on innovator board,
it runs, fine. the next step is, make it work on my board, which use
different memory. my board boot on intel J flash, innovator boot on AMD
flash.  so I need a boot loader with serial port and memory only. all other
devices are ignored in this very beginning stage.

so how should I build reboot for my board?

I built the innovator's redboot_ROM.ecm, burnt it to flash using flash
writer. it boot and complain about unsupported flash detected. fine.
and then it compain about network adaptor. sure I don't have it...

next, I made a copy of redboot_ROM.ecm, import the tree, tried modify it
using configtool. I removed the amd flash support, added intel. it complain
about "add and remove hardware packages by selecting a new hardware
template.". well I don't know how to do it.

so I tried to modify the redboot_ROM.ecm by hand, removed amd flash, added
intel, removed lan support. compile, burn to rom, network error message is
gone, but flash error message remain.

so could anyone give me some hints or pointer to documentation for
beginners?
