bootloader source files

Hi All,

Could somebody please tell me, at what location can I find ALL the source
files related to the bootloader. I have been trying to work through the
Microsoft Windows CE 5.0 Board Support Package, Boot Loader, and Kernel
Startup Sequence article
(http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa446905.aspx) but I cannot seem to
find the functions EbootMain() and BootloaderMain() that are supposed to be
in main.c and Blcommon.c respectively and I am wondering whether I actually
have the correct files.

Thanks

Not likely, no. Since you didn't specify What BSP you are working with it's
impossible to tell you where all the files are. The ultimate place to start
is the SOURCES file for the boot loader in your BSP. You can find direct
code files used there as well as each library it uses so you can work out
from that.

Steve, my mistake. Sorry for forgeting to mention the BSP . It is ARM -
intel PXA27X. All that I have found in the location that was mentioned is
startup.s (C:\WINCE500\PLATFORM\COMMON\SRC\ARM\INTEL\PXA27X\STARTUP) and I am
not sure if the file Blcommon.c I have is correct either (the location it was
found is C:\WINCE500\PLATFORM\COMMON\SRC\COMMON\BOOT\BLCOMMON). This is the
file that does not contain BootLoaderMain( ). There are other files that
have been placed here, I am still trying to find out the purpose of these
files (format.c and signimage.c). I hope somebody could help with this too.
Finally, does anyone know where the main.c file is that corresponds to the
board support package?

Thanks,
RH

AS you are working on a PXA27X, you may have to look at the Mainstone II
and III BSPs.
Mainstone II BSP is delivered with Platform Builder installation
package. Mainstone II BSP is available on the Intel Website.

For Mainstone II BSP, you will find booloader sources files in folders:
- C:\WINCE500\PLATFORM\COMMON\SRC\ARM\INTEL
- C:\WINCE500\PLATFORM\MAINSTONEII\SRC\BOOTLOADER\EBOOT <--- main.c location
- C:\WINCE500\PUBLIC\COMMON\OAK\CSP\ARM\INTEL
and for BLCOMMON :
- D:\WINCE500\PUBLIC\COMMON\OAK\DRIVERS\ETHDBG\BLCOMMON
