Ok is there documentation anywhere that can show the requirements for supporting SPL if I'd like to be able to implement it, same with falcon mode? I've already got support for nitrogen6x through another vendor but they won't support the spl.
I'm taking a look at board/woodburn/woodburn.c to see what was done for another board that supports SPL. It just looks like void board_init_f(ulong dummy) needs to be implemented for the SPL.
Someone recommend I look at another set of patch notes that have better docs, but I see it mostly has the falcon mode in it. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/146987/focus=147040

Hi,
First off, sorry I'm not used to using mailing lists. I'm not sure if this is the best way to dig for information. 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
