Hi, all TI support give me the right answer. I attach the patch.
With that patch you can following the tutorial. But NOTE the uImage which you write to nand flash, must use the one without NAND support! otherwise you can not boot from HDD. But with EVM booting from nand flash you will get a problem to set S3-4 on. So when you boot from nand flash, you will can not run any codec on it. On 11/28/06, MAO Dan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, all I think the tutorial outlined in spraaa0 is not correct. It lost some step, I change some step and boot from nand flash is ok. The 1 and 2 steps is same as spraaa0. You must change step 3 as following: Patch the attachment to your kernel. Then compile the kernel with Nandsupport same as spraaa0. Don't forget to compile a kernel without NAND support. step 4 is no change. step 5 you must use /dev/mtd1 instead of /dev/mtd0. NOTE: The uImage must use the one without NAND support! otherwise you can not boot from HDD. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ftl_format /dev/mtd1 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# nandwrite -p /dev/mtd1 uImage Continue with the rest of spraaa0, you will boot from nand flash successful I think. Good luck!
