The existing DM355 does not support NAND devices with 4K page sizes. As an unrecognized device, the identification should default to assuming a 2K page size with 64 pages/block. I would assume that the UBL was not read correctly due to the page layout. I am surprised, though, that this did not result in a fall back to an SD boot

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. -- Jon Povey, Design Engineer [email protected] | +44(0)1280 825983 ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 23 January 2009 09:12 To: Jon Povey; [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: RE: dm355:ecc query 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.
