How to booting on NAND with GLSDK

Hi,

See the supported boot modes by glsdk_dra7xx_7_03_00_03 here:
processors.wiki.ti.com/.../DRA7xx_GLSDK_7.03.00.03_Data_Sheet

As you can see u-boot does not support NAND boot.

Jacinto 6 SoC itself supports NAND boot, but currently this is not implemented in TI u-boot. If you wish to boot from nand you should customize your u-boot.

Thank you for your reply

Ok, I will customize my u-boot.

Can I boot with MT29F8G08ABABA  (4096 bytes + 224 bytes) on DRA7x RBL ?

Thanks. Best regards.

Hi,

Here is what the TRM states about this (see Initialization chapter, Subsection 33.3.7.4 NAND, fyi I am refering to AM572x TRM, but J6 devices have the same behaviour):

• The GPMC is the communication interface.
• Device from 512 Mibit (64 MiB) to 64 Gibit (8 GiB)
• ×8 and ×16 bus width
• Support for large page size (2048 bytes + 64 spare bytes) or very large page size (4096 bytes + 128/218 spare bytes)

As far as I remember, the device has no problem booting with nand that have larger spare byte area (as in your case 224 bytes), it just won't use all of the spare bytes, but it should boot. So in short, yes, you should be able to boot with this nand.

Thank you for your quick answer.
