Full ACK from me. I would always recommend to use a small NOR FLASH with a full-blown U-Boot for booting from NOR with full DDR2 setup etc. All this will be hard to implement with all the restrictions for booting from PCI (even though I have never done this before, but I suspect that it will be quite as limited as booting from NAND). > But of course there may be > reasons to want to boot over PCI ... Yes, what is the main reason you want to do this? As mentioned above, I recommend to boot from a small NOR FLASH (512kB) and "wait" in U-Boot for the PCI host to provide the OS/application image via PCI.
