2. How to use MINI2440
Linux image was loaded before shipment (supervivi、zImage_n35、root_default.img)，Note the
procedures below will be run under Windows。
2.1 Hardware Setup
2.1.1 Boot Mode
Boot mode can be selected by S2, according words on silk screen：
S2 connect to Nor Flash side，system will boot from Nor Flash；
S2 connect to Nand Flash side，system will boot from Nand Flash。
BIOS which pre-loaded in Nor Flash and Nand Flash are the same in shipment. By default, S2 had
been connected to Nand Flash.
2.1.2 External connection
1. Connect serial port 0 to PC COM port by a dummy modem cable
2. Connect Ethernet port to PC by a cross cable
3. Connect DC 5V power adapter to power supply in
4. Connect your phone set to stereo out(Green)
5. Connect your LCD module to LCD connector
6. Connect with PC by a USB cable
2.1.3 Hypterminal Setup
2.2 BIOS Function
2.2.1 Enter BIOS
Supervivi had been pre-loaded in Nor Flash before shipment. Set S2 to Nor Flash can enter BIOS
main menu after power on:
About supervivi:
Supervivi is a bootloader based on Samsung open source vivi. It can be used as a tool to download
and burn OS image to the flash on board. It can also be used to for parameters configuration.
Supervivi download OS image file from PC by USB port.
Supervivi can be installed in either Nor Flash or Nand Flash. When Supervivi is booting from Nand
Flash, user can hold down space bar in Hypterminal when board booting, to force supervivi enter
main menu. Or supervivi will directly boot OS image by default.
Supervivi also has a Download&Run feature which can run user image directly. There is a sample
code 2440test on CD-ROM for this kind application.
2.2.2 Install USB Driver
DNW USB driver for windows is located on CD-ROM \windows tool\usb. Install this driver when
board connected to PC first time. Open DNW, “usb:ok” will indicated on DNW title bar if USB
connection successfully:
USB device list on PC after driver installation
2.2.3 Main Menu Function
Note: DNW is needed for all function related with image downloading through USB connection.
[x]: make default partition on Nand Flash
[v]: download vivi image to vivi partition on Nand Flash
[k]: download linux image to kernel partition on Nand Flash
[y]: download yaffs file system image to root partition on Nand Flash
[c]: download cramfs file system image to root partition on Nand Flash
[a]: download user binary image to Nand Flash, like 2440test, uCos2, U-Boot
[n]: download Nboot image to block0 on Nand Flash
[e]: download Eboot to Eboot partition on Nand Flash
[i]: download NK.nb0 to Nand Flash
[w]: download NK.bin to Nand Flash
[d]: download exec image to specific memory address(Address is defined by
DNW|Configuration|Option) and run it. The SDRAM address is 0x30000000 – 0x34000000. The
memory size is 64Mbytes. The user available address space is 0x30000000 – 0x33DE8000.
[z]: download zImage to 0x30008000
[g]: run zImage image in memory, work together with command [z]
[f]: erase Nand Flash. The available address space for Nand Flash is 0x0 – 0x4000000
Start Address End Address
Vivi partition(block0-13) 0x0 0x50000
Linux kernel partition(block14-93) 0x50000 0x250000
File system partition(block94-4095) 0x250000 0x4000000
Whole Chip 0x0 0x4000000
[p]: make partition on Nand Flash for linux. Refer to sub menu function for details
[b]: boot OS
[s]: set linux start up parameters
[t]: display TOC of wince image
[u]: backup the whole content in nand flash and upload it to pc by dnw tool
[r]: restore backup file to nand flash by dnw
[q]: go to regular command line interface for vivi
Type “menu” to return to main menu for supervivi
2.2.4 Partition Sub Menu Function
(1) View current partition
Type “v” to view current partition information. If Nand Flash is empty or new, default partition table
will be displayed.
(2) Delete partition
Input “d” to delete specific partition. Input “vivi” if you want to delete “vivi” partition:
(3) Write Partition
Input “w” to write partition table. Partition modification can only take effect by write command.
(4) Append Partition
Input “a” to append a new partition. Supervivi will prompt you with some informations for the new
partition like : name, offset, size and flag.
(5) Reset partition table
Input “r” to reset partition table with supervivi default parameter. Remember use “w” command to
make your reset operation take effect.
2.2.5 Linux Parameter Setup
(1) View Parameter
Input “v” to view current parameters
(2) Set Parameter
Input “s” to set parameter.
How to set mach_type
The default mach_type is 782. You can change this parameter if you complier your kernel with
MACH_TYPE 867.
How to set linux command line
Linux_cmd_line is a very often used parameter for kernel startup. Here is an example for how to
change default tty terminal from serial 0 to serial 1:
View current parameters:
Linux_cmd_line: noinitrd root=/dev/mtdblock2 init=/linuxrc console=ttySAC0
Input “s”, and then input “linux_cmd_line”, input “return”, and then input:
“noinitrd root=/dev/mtdblock2 init=/linuxrc console=ttySAC1,115200”
After parameter successfully saved, linux will startup and logon from serial 1
(3) Save Parameter
Input “w” to save parameters
(4) Recover Parameter
Input “r” to recover default kernel startup parameters
2.3 Test Program without OS
Test program 2440test can be used to test PWM beeper, RTC clock, AD converter, button, touch
screen, LCD, infra, I2C bus, audio in, audio out, SD Card and CMOS Camera.
2.3.1 Download 2440test
Install USB driver on Windows and setup Windows Hypterminal for serial cable connection.
Connect USB cable and launch DNW for 2440test binary image downloading. The USB download
address in DNW should be 0x30000000.
2440test program will automatically run after successfully download:
2.3.2 Hardware Test
