h1. Eval

h2. Writing to board

Writing HWInfo via bringup-software is bad. Boards will be switched and wron serial number is on board.

An dedicated application should flash it. -Read serial number via UART.- with the help of gdb 

<pre><code class="shell">

gdb qhello -ex "br loop" -ex "run" -ex "call (flash)(10,\"mmm\")" -ex "clear loop" -ex "c" --batch

</code></pre>

The information can be read even without serial insterface.

<pre><code class="shell">

print myStruct

info symbol 0x4010

info address myStruct

</code></pre>

An unstripped elf file is needed of course.

set var $new = (SMyStruct *)malloc(sizeof(struct SMyStruct))

set var $new.version = 111

print $new.version

set var $new.name="MAX"

So writing a nice "writeHwInfo.sh" script which flashes bringup-firmware looks good.

* check firmwareType to be "bringup"
