Hi all!

> if the boottime is critical I'll recommend you NOR + XIP
Nak, please have a look at "interest in XIP? - boot time benchmarks"
(http://marc.info/?l=linux-arm-kernel&m=117198517723134&w=2)

But in brief : the kernel is started faster with xip, but is so slow that it
will end booting after the non-xip kernel.

NOR flash bandwidth is *very* slow compared to SDRAM.

Best regards

Marc
