Booting MPC8377ERBD from NAND flash

Booting MPC8377ERBD from NAND flash

Hi,

I am trying to boot MPC8377ERBD freescale board from NAND flash. As per its
specifications, it supports NAND boot but it there is no support for NAND
boot in the BSP(confirmed with freescale also). Now I decided to modify BSP
myself to support NAND boot and I am confused that from where should I
start. Please suggest.

Thanks in advance
Ravi Gupta

That's a bit outdated on the software side.  Look under the nand_spl
directory in u-boot; you should see several boards to use as examples.

If possible, I suggest working with the latest upstream u-boot rather
than what comes with the BSP.

If you have further questions, ask at u-boot@lists.denx.de.
