[U-Boot] imx6, spl and falcon boot

[Chaves, Kevin]

Excellent thanks, the "falcon" boot or mode is booting directly into the kernel from the SPL and skipping uboot altogether.

We've recently switched to uboot/linux from wince and I'm trying to understand how configuring uboot works. I'm also trying to find out how to use the SPL framework and possibly falcon mode with a i.mx6 nitrogen6x board. I'd be delighted if any one could help!

I haven't used spl and falcon mode, so I can't help with these.

Regarding the general support for the i.mx6 nitrogen6x this isn't in U-Boot mainline, yet.

Try to git pull the most recent U-Boot mainline from git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git [1] and apply the patch

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/216991/

You should then be able to build one of the supported boards

nitrogen6q
nitrogen6dl
nitrogen6s
nitrogen6q2g
nitrogen6dl2g
nitrogen6s1g

by

make nitrogen6xxx_config
make

(replace the 'xxx' with the ending matching your board, e.g. 'q' if you have a Quad board).

Best regards

Dirk
