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.
U-Boot # mmc rescan
U-Boot # env default -f -a
U-Boot # nand erase.chip
U-Boot # saveenv
U-Boot # load mmc 0 81000000 MLO
U-Boot # cp.b 81000000 81020000 20000
U-Boot # cp.b 81000000 81040000 20000
U-Boot # cp.b 81000000 81060000 20000
U-Boot # load mmc 0 81080000 u-boot.img
U-Boot # nand write 81000000 0 260000
U-Boot # load mmc 0 ${loadaddr} uImage
U-Boot # nand write ${loadaddr} kernel 500000
have been configured correctly for the board. All images are first loaded
into memory, then written to NAND.
Step-1: Building u-boot for NAND boot
Set following CONFIGxx options for NAND device.
CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_SIZE number of main bytes in NAND page
CONFIG_SYS_NAND_OOBSIZE number of OOB bytes in NAND page
CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BLOCK_SIZE number of bytes in NAND erase-block
CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCPOS ECC map for NAND page
CONFIG_NAND_OMAP_ECCSCHEME (refer doc/README.nand)
Step-2: Flashing NAND via MMC/SD
# select BOOTSEL to MMC/SD boot and boot from MMC/SD card
U-Boot # mmc rescan
# erase flash
U-Boot # nand erase.chip
U-Boot # env default -f -a
U-Boot # saveenv
# flash MLO. Redundant copies of MLO are kept for failsafe
U-Boot # load mmc 0 0x82000000 MLO
U-Boot # nand write 0x82000000 0x00000 0x20000
U-Boot # nand write 0x82000000 0x20000 0x20000
U-Boot # nand write 0x82000000 0x40000 0x20000
U-Boot # nand write 0x82000000 0x60000 0x20000
# flash u-boot.img
U-Boot # load mmc 0 0x82000000 u-boot.img
U-Boot # nand write 0x82000000 0x80000 0x60000
# flash kernel image
U-Boot # load mmc 0 0x82000000 uImage
U-Boot # nand write 0x82000000 ${nandsrcaddr} ${nandimgsize}
# flash filesystem image
U-Boot # load mmc 0 0x82000000 filesystem.img
U-Boot # nand write 0x82000000 ${loadaddress} 0x300000
Step-3: Set BOOTSEL pin to select NAND boot, and POR the device.
The device should boot from images flashed on NAND device.
