That's correct. > But I had a very hard time doing this review and I'm not 100% sure if I'm > correct > Would be very nice if someone could tell me if I'm right and if not tell me > what I need more to boot from a NAND flash. Booting U-Boot from NAND Flash on i.MX31 PDK requires nothing else. However, the current U-Boot does not have support to have the U-Boot environment or kernel in NAND since the mx31_nand.c driver is missing. There have been a number of patches containing such a driver but so far no one has been accepted.
