MityArm in u-booting from SPI flash
Added by Anonymous almost 12 years ago
Does Critical Link plan to support booting from spi flash? We would like to begin the process of migrating the booting
over to spi flash and were hoping you guys might have it ready to go already (fingers crossed...) We understand that
this feature was only recently added to u-boot. Any chance this was on your list of things to do?
Thanks,
John C.

While the omap l138 based mity SOMs do boot from SPI (NOR) flash, we have not tried to do so on the AM335X based SOMs.
In fact, the current AM335X based SOMs can not boot from on-board flash due to pin mux constraints. You should be able to boot from
SPI flash on a baseboard, but, again, we have not done any work in that arena.

Thanks Tim,
How hard to you think it would be to merge the MityArm changes for u-boot into the latest mainline u-boot?
