A Design and Implementation for the Auto-Booting of Baseband Board with ARM, DSP and FPGA

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, I propose a solution for the auto-booting of baseband board, including the auto-booting of an ARM processor and the configuration of a FPGA chip. The baseband board’s FPGA chip is Xilinx’s XC6VSX475T which belongs to Virtex-6 series, the ARM processor is TI’s DM8168. ARM processor boots from nandflash, using uboot as its boot loader. I use Slave SelectMAP mode with 8-bit data bus interface as FPGA configuration mode. This paper introduces the transplantation of uboot and the FPGA configuration process with details, also analyses the result. This solution has already been used in TD-LTE TTCN extended test sets instrument, and it works well, which proves itself a practical solution.
