NAME

       tegrarcm - tegra firmware download utility

SYNOPSIS

       tegrarcm [ options ]

DESCRIPTION

       This  program  is  used  to  send  code  to  a Tegra device in recovery mode.  It does not
       supported locked devices with an encrypted boot key, only open devices such as the ventana
       or  cardhu  reference boards.  It is not capable of flashing firmware to a device, but can
       be used to download firmware that is then capable of flashing.  For  example  in  ChromeOS
       tegrarcm  is  used to download a special build of u-boot to the target Tegra device with a
       payload that it then flashes to the boot device.

   Platforms supported
       •      Tegra20

       •      Tegra30

       •      Tegra114

   How to use
       —      Connect a USB cable from your development system to your Tegra  device.   You  will
              either need a USB A to A cable or A to micro B depending on the target board.

       —      Find  the appropriate BCT file for your board.  For reference boards, BCT files can
              be found in the L4T distribution from NVIDIA.

       —      Build some firmware for your device (such as u-boot)

       —      Run tegrarcm to download the firmware

OPTIONS

       --bct bctfile
              Specify the BCT file to download to the Tegra device.  This  file  contains  memory
              configuation  information  for  the  board.   BCT files can be obtained through the
              NVIDIA L4T distribution or generated with cbootimage  and  a  proper  configuration
              file.

       --bootloader blfile
              Specify  the bootloader file to download to the Tegra device.  This is the firmware
              file that will be downloaded and executed.

       --loadaddr loadaddr
              Specify the address the bootloader will be loaded at.  This should be specified  in
              hex  and  is typically 0x108000 for a Tegra20 device or 0x80108000 for a Tegra30 or
              Tegra114 device.

       --entryaddr entryaddr
              Specify the entry address that control will be passed  to  after  the  firmware  is
              loaded.   This should be specified in hex.  If this option is omitted it is assumed
              to be the same as the load address.

EXAMPLE

       To download u-boot firmware to a Tegra20 seaboard:

       $ sudo tegrarcm --bct seaboard.bct --bootloader u-boot.bin --loadaddr 0x108000
       bct file: seaboard.bct
       booloader file: u-boot.bin
       load addr 0x108000
       entry addr 0x108000
       device id: 0x7820
       uid:  0x33c20c0413fb217
       RCM version: 2.1
