Hi Jon,

 

Actually we are facing a strange problem.

I am using MT29F16G08DAA nand chip with page size: 4096 I have written
UBL descriptor in block 1, page 0 and UBL in block 2, page 0.

 

When I change boot mode to NAND, I do not see any message on console and
as board is not falling back to SD mode, I suspect RBL found valid magic
number.

 

But I don't understand why it can't load UBL.

 

On my head I suspect two possibilities

a) ECC errors while copying UBL from NAND

b) RBL is unable to find UBL (maybe information given in UBL descriptor
is taken incorrectly by RBL)

 

I do not have JTAG with me.

 

Regards,

Jitendra

Seems pretty clear to me.. what part are you having trouble with?

        Hi,

        I am reading "sprufb3.pdf".

         

        I found following point on page 157.

        "Copy the User boot-loader from NAND flash to IRAM with hardware
ECC error detection enabled. If a

        4-bit ECC read error is detected, the UBL will correct the error
via the ECC correction algorithm. If the

        read fails due to any other error, the descriptor search process
begins anew in the next block after that

        in which the UBL descriptor was found for up to the first 24
blocks. If no valid UBL descriptor is found

        after searching 24 blocks, the RBL will try to boot via MMC/SD."

         

         

        Can anyone explain me what does this mean?

         

        Regards,

        Jitendra
