Subject: [U-Boot] [PATCH 1/1] board/ti/am335x/README: Document NAND programming
Date: Wed, 17 Jul 2013 12:24:30 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1374078270-20098-2-git-send-email-trini@ti.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1374078270-20098-1-git-send-email-trini@ti.com>

The AM335x GP EVM ships with NAND.  Document programming of the chip
including the redundant locations that the ROM will check.

+
+The AM335x GP EVM ships with a 256MiB NAND available in most profiles.  In
+this example to program the NAND we assume that an SD card has been
+inserted with the files to write in the first SD slot and that mtdparts
+have been configured correctly for the board.  As a time saving measure we
+load MLO into memory in one location, copy it into the three locatations
+that the ROM checks for additional valid copies, then load U-Boot into
+memory.  We then write that whole section of memory to NAND.
