use U-boot to Boot From a NAND Flash Memory Device

use U-boot to Boot From a NAND Flash Memory Device

[Thomas Jackson]

Hi List,

I understand NOR-based Flash memory devices have traditionally been used for non-volatile storage for a bootloader for various advantages
including support for execute-in-place code, random access to memory, and zero error rate.  However, we have a project that we would like to use U-boot to Boot From a NAND Flash Memory Device on a ARM926 based board.  Does the community know of any existing mechanisms for this type of configuration?

Thanks in advance!

TJ

wouldnt it make more sense to ask on the u-boot list about u-boot
instead of asking on a linux list about an unrelated bootloader ?
