U-boot is capable of this. The i.MX31 PDK board, which is in the u-boot tree, does this. 

Note 1: The PDK board hasn't been updated to the new ARM relocation code yet so you have to define CONFIG_SYS_ARM_WITHOUT_RELOC in the config file.

Note 2: Commit http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=commitdiff;h=f3bb63a304c4e76010a2a4e99da61f7b6ffffc77 broke support for booting from 8 bit NAND devices. The PDK board uses 16 bit NAND bus and works.
