DRA718: Can QNX6.6 IPL support NAND BCH16?

James Austrial

Part Number: DRA718

Hi,

Customer changed the NAND flash and found the device is not booting. (IPL is not loaded from NAND flash)

After checking, we found this NAND flash is 2048 bytes + 128 bytes (spare bytes)
From the experience, such NAND flash needs BCH16 ECC.

Unfortunately, the QNX6.6 IPL only supports BCH8 ECC.

Is there any patch or modification to enable QNX6.6 IPL on Jacinto 6 Entry to support BCH16 ECC?

Hi James,

TI is not aware of BCH16 patch available for QNX IPL. This however does not mean it does not exist, QNX should be contacted.

Alternatively this functionality could be added to the IPL. Uboot supports BCH16, and could be used as reference.

Regards,

Kip
