<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">For our custom board, based on AT91RM9200, we wants to use</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">u-boot as a Linux bootloader. We do not want to use any</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">commercial software and hardware tools to program it. We</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">want to put the u-boot in the serial flash, connected to</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">the controller on SPI.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">I found a document (doc6067.pdf) from Atmel on how to load the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">u-boot to serial flash. It is a two step process, first load</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">an application called 'romboot.bin' then load the u-boot. It</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">seems 'romboot.bin' does preliminary set up, to load the u-boot</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">image to serial flash. The 'romboot.bin' image is built</FONT>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">A Metrowerks project of 'romboot.bin' is available, but it uses</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">some libraries (for example to have printf and scanf etc.) which</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">are not included in the project. Is there any way I can compile</FONT>
