This may be an issue with the RBL not detecting your NAND chip, if I
remember correctly DM355 does not support 4KB page devices at the
moment, although it is not very clear and may support some devices, or I
have a vague memory that for some 4KB devices it reads them as if they
were 2KB page devices, so you can put "hand-crafted" data in the early
blocks enough to get UBL loading.
 
I also seem to remember some talk of a new revision of DM355 that could
support more recent NAND devices.
 
Maybe someone from TI could comment. I have not been looking into this
recently and my memory is flaky.

        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
