Dear Thomas Jackson,

I understand NOR-based flash memory devices have traditionally been used for non-volatile storage for a bootloader and other various advantages including support for execute-in-place code, random access to memory, and zero error rate, etc. However, we have a project that we would like to have U-Boot bootloader run via NAND Flash memory device on a ARM926EJ-S based board. I searched the mailing list for this and didn't see anything. I only found a
I have no idea how you performed that search, but it seems you have a special aptitude to avoid all the obvious hits.
question posted in 2006 where it was asked if the kernel based on ARM926EJ-S can boot from NAND flash. Which I know is ok. Does the community know of any existing mechanisms for this type of configuration to enable U-Boot load and run via NAND flash?
It's a standard feature and available on many (most?) boards that support booting from NAND. Dunno if this includes AT91 boards.
Jean-Christophe should be able to answer this, but he is currently off this planet.
