Hi Magnus,

Thanks for the elaborate explanation. I did not find any detailed
documentation for the same in the u-boot readme's.

That explains why i swa the #warning spit out. So you mean the
CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT and CONFIG_SKIP_RELOCATE_UBOOT get toggled
during compile time only.
I am still struggling to get the NAND boot working.  I am not even
seeing U-boot spit out the first line on the console "U-boot <version
no> " when i power up subsequently.
This is what i did to build and run.
i) make mx31_pdk_nand_config
ii) make
Take U-boot-nand.bin and burn it at physical offset 0x0 of the NAND
using Redboot loaded via JTAG. When i reset, i see nothing on the
console.
I may be missing something which applying the patches then. Remote gdb
does not allow me to debug. If i put printfs in _start_armboot in
board.c, looks like its not ven entering that function.  Has the
standard output and the serial console dev been initiliazed before
this point i.e start_armboot?

Have you got a chance to post the patches to the mainline yet?
Thanks,
Alfred.
