I have an awkward situation, short of it is we have a custom i.MX53
board, the nk.nb0 and eboot.nb0 files to boot into windows (with no
source code), and an Ubuntu VM with the source code and compiled files
of uboot from august 2009 (as well as some flavour of linux that I'm
not 100% sure on). I need to figure out a way to boot into either the
nk.nb0 or eboot.nb0 so that we can run our software.
eboot.nb0 is the Windows CE bootloader and probably needs to be executed
first. The nk.nb0 file is the actual Windows CE image itself.
Depending on the hardware configuration it may be that these are images
that are copied as-is to RAM or could be XIP images for execution
directly from flash if the hardware supports it and is configured that
way.
Based on my research so far, I am hopeful that I may be able to have
uboot start either eboot.nb0 or nk.nb0, and it won't crash the hardware
in the process (we don't have the resources to do more in depth
troubleshooting of the board design or re-write our software for the
linux version).
This may not be successful. One or both of the .nb0 files will contain
hardware initialisation code and it may be that the initialisation
provided by U-Boot causes a conflict.
If you want to contact me off list to discuss Windows CE specifics then
we have the expertise to maybe help you move this forward.
