Hello all,

Ported uboot to seeed studio based imx6ull 
<https://www.seeedstudio.com/NPi-i-MX6ULL-Dev-Board-Industrial-Grade-Linux-SBC-NAND-Version-p-4220.html> 
board.

 ??? ??? NAND Part Number - mt29f4g08abaeawp

 ??? ??? NAND Size - 512 MBytes

Both the SPL and U-BOOT image boot successfully from SD card.

While with nand flash, SPL boot's fine. But SPL didn't boot the u-boot 
from nand flash.


=> mtdparts

device nand0 <gpmi-nand>, # parts = 4
 ?#: name??????????????? size??????????? offset????????? mask_flags
 ?0: spl???????????????? 0x00080000????? 0x00000000????? 0

 ?2: uboot-dup?????????? 0x00100000????? 0x00180000????? 0
 ?3: ubi???????????????? 0x1fd80000????? 0x00280000????? 0

active partition: nand0,0 - (spl) 0x00080000 @ 0x00000000

defaults:
mtdids? : nand0=gpmi-nand
mtdparts: gpmi-nand:512k(spl),1m(uboot),1m(uboot-dup),-(ubi)


And I flashed the SPL and u-boot image from SD card.

Here is flashing result,

Initially erased the nand chip


=> nand erase.chip

NAND erase.chip: device 0 whole chip
Skipping bad block at 0x1ff00000
Skipping bad block at 0x1ff40000
Skipping bad block at 0x1ff80000

OK


Then flashed the SPL

=> ext4load mmc 0:1 $loadaddr SPL

=> nand erase.part spl

Afterwards flashed the uboot image,

=> nand erase.part uboot

OK
=> nand write $loadaddr uboot $filesize

NAND write: device 0 offset 0x80000, size 0x987c4

Everything work's fine, but it didn't boot the u-boot image from nand 
storage.

Any hint?

Navin,

Everything above makes sense but the important thing is what you set
CONFIG_SYS_SPL_ARGS_ADDR as that is where the SPL will attempt to load
U-Boot from. Check that value and make sure its 0x80000 and if it is
correct add some debug prints around the loading of the U-Boot image
to make sure everything goes as planned.

Best regards,

Tim

Hi Tim,

Assigned CONFIG_SYS_SPL_ARGS_ADDR to 0x80000 and added some debug prints

SPL loads the uboot the image successfully in RAM (crossed checked by 
printing the image header and flashed image)

and SPL also reaches the image entry point 
<https://source.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot/-/blob/master/common/spl/spl.c#L371>.

image entry point: 0x87800000

But still the uboot image is not booting.

Navin,

Maybe use hexdump to dump what was loaded to RAM to verify contents
and ensure there isn't a raw nand/ECC issue?

Because you say this boots from microSD we can assume your dram setup
and everything is good so it must be the content of what's getting
loaded to RAM?
