Board Initialization

The SDRAM of the PandaBoard is initialized in the target script PandaBone_Target.js by executing a program (with code that comes from x-load-omap3) in the internal SRAM of the OMAP35x. If you want to rebuild this program then you can load the project and rebuild.

Board Support

The file PandaBoard_ctl_board.c implements the CTL timer, the led output function and a button interrupt.
