I'm sorry, the wording of my question was too short. I have already fulfilled the steps described in the article. But the article describes loading of the image from manufacturer - it is not my case. 1. I create a configuration for my board from maxbcm config. 2. Set `BOOT_FROM` parameter in board\my\kwbimage.cfg to `uart`. 3. Set DDR timings/settings. 4. Upload and execute image via uart. 5. Memory training ended successfully.
But then I get the following messages in the terminal: | >>spl:board_init_r() | boot device - 8 | ... | SPI probe failed.
Boot device 8 - constant `BOOT_DEVICE_SPI`. Function code returns this value looks like: | u32 spl_boot_device(void) | { | /* Right now only booting via SPI NOR flash is supported */ | return BOOT_DEVICE_SPI; | }
And now I repeat my question:
Is it possible to load and boot Marvell Armada XP u-boot completely from
uart without spi or nand flash?

You can use kwboot I believe.
Correct. kwboot can be used to upload and execute a binary (compiled for UART booting) via UART. Please make sure to use the "-a" parameter for the Armada XP timings.
Thanks, Stefan
