Microchip SparX-5i PCB135 (eMMC)
--------------------------------
At present, only FIT images are supported via the SparX-5i eval
board's U-Boot, which must contain a valid load address. If you are
using this board, after selecting your base configuration, run the
following command to supplement the existing config with the required
FIT options:
make board-enable-sparx-fit
### Unbricking
1. Don't load a corrupt bootloader to begin with
2. Done
If, for some reason, you didn't manage to follow step 1, you can use
the `FLASH_PROG`(`J4`) connector on the board to access the SPI flash
directly.
Using a [Bus Blaster][BB3] in combination with [dangerspi][dangerspi],
you can load a new bootloader. The schematic below details how to
connect the Bus Blaster to the board, but the concept should be
portable to any debugger/device based around an FTDI2232 chip.
```
Bus Blaster: FLASH_PROG (J4):
.---. .---.
VTG >o o| VTG SCK >o o| GND
TRST |o o| GND MISO |o o| #RESET_FLASH
TDI |o o| GND o o| 3V3
TMS |o o| GND #CS |o o| #SYSRESET
TCK o o| GND MOSI |o o| GND
RTCK o o| GND '---'
TDO |o o| GND

DBGRQ |o o| GND
DBGACK |o o| GND

```
| Bus Blaster | FLASH_PROG |
|-------------|----------------|
| `VTG` | `3V3` |
| `GND` | `GND` |
| | |
| `VTG` | `#RESET_FLASH` |
| `GND` | `#SYSRESET` |
| | |
| `TDI` | `MOSI` |
| `TMS` | `#CS` |
| `TCK` | `SCK` |
| `TDO` | `MISO` |
With the cable in place, build U-Boot with the correct configuration:
make fireant_boot_defconfig && make
To flash it to the board, connect the cable to `J4` and run:
make board-sparx-flash-uboot
