 The AM335x GP EVM ships with a 256MiB NAND available in most profiles.  In
 this example to program the NAND we assume that an SD card has been
 inserted with the files to write in the first SD slot and that mtdparts
-have been configured correctly for the board.  As a time saving measure we
-load MLO into memory in one location, copy it into the three locatations
-that the ROM checks for additional valid copies, then load U-Boot into
-memory.  We then write that whole section of memory to NAND.

+Step-1: Building u-boot for NAND boot
+	Set following CONFIGxx options for NAND device.
+	CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_SIZE	number of main bytes in NAND page
+	CONFIG_SYS_NAND_OOBSIZE		number of OOB bytes in NAND page
+	CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BLOCK_SIZE	number of bytes in NAND erase-block
+	CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCPOS		ECC map for NAND page
+	CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCSCHEME	ECC scheme used by NAND
+					0 - HAM1_SW
+					1 - HAM1_HW
+					2 - BCH4_SW  (unsupported)
+					3 - BCH4_HW  (unsupported)
+					4 - BCH8_SW
+					5 - BCH8_HW
+
+Step-2: Flashing NAND via MMC/SD
+	# select BOOTSEL to MMC/SD boot and boot from MMC/SD card
+	U-Boot # mmc rescan
+	# erase flash
+	U-Boot # nand erase.chip
+	U-Boot # env default -f -a
+	U-Boot # saveenv
+	# flash MLO. Redundant copies of MLO are kept for failsafe
+	U-Boot # load mmc 0 0x82000000 MLO
+	U-Boot # nand write 0x82000000 0x00000 0x20000
+	U-Boot # nand write 0x82000000 0x20000 0x20000
+	U-Boot # nand write 0x82000000 0x40000 0x20000
+	U-Boot # nand write 0x82000000 0x60000 0x20000
+	# flash u-boot.img
+	U-Boot # load mmc 0 0x82000000 u-boot.img
+	U-Boot # nand write 0x82000000 0x80000 0x60000
+	# flash kernel image
+	U-Boot # load mmc 0 0x82000000 uImage
+	U-Boot # nand write 0x82000000 ${nandsrcaddr} ${nandimgsize}
+	# flash filesystem image
+	U-Boot # load mmc 0 0x82000000 filesystem.img
+	U-Boot # nand write 0x82000000 {loadaddress} 0x300000
+
+Step-3: Set BOOTSEL pin to select NAND boot, and POR the device.
+	The device should boot from images flashed on NAND device.
