[U-Boot] Nand boot on imx6q board is broken
Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to boot imx6q board from nand but it seems like mainline u-boot nand boot support for imx6q board is broken.
It is working till v2017.05 with this fix [1].
I'm using this as my stub: https://github.com/openedev/u-boot-amarula/tree/icore-nand
When I git bisect between v2017.05 and v2017.07, found this commit which is further breaking the nand boot support: ------ ommit bc1fe9006dfaacc5103b5c7057a62215844957b7 Author: Jagan Teki jagan@amarulasolutions.com Date: Sun May 7 02:43:05 2017 +0530
icorem6: Make SPL to pick suitable fdt
SPL FIT is able to pick the suitable fdt file for u-boot, so add that function through board_fit_config_name_match.
Cc: Stefano Babic sbabic@denx.de Cc: Matteo Lisi matteo.lisi@engicam.com Cc: Michael Trimarchi michael@amarulasolutions.com Signed-off-by: Jagan Teki jagan@amarulasolutions.com ----- And It is fixed with this [2].
In mainline u-boot we already have fix [1] and [2] available but nand boot is still broken. It seems like problem is some where else, fix [1] and [2] are just making the bug appear less frequently.
logs: [3] nand boot working [4] Nand boot not working
Has anyone else faced or fixed the same issue on imx6 board. Please let me know.

I spent some time trying to make the imx6q_logic board boot from SPL from NAND, but I needed to patch a few things. Some of them have yet to be approved, but if they work for you, maybe it will help get them approved.
There was a broken function pointer here that was fixed and applied the imx-master, but pending merge with master http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1019440/
Configure ECC from SPL here: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1020160/
Remove hard-coded ECC parameters since the patch above can autoset them. http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1026638/
With those 3 patches and some minor changes to my individual board file and config file, I was able to boot 2019.01 via SPL from NAND. Since it was working for you before, I am guessing the board file stuff and config file stuff is probably already for you.

Thanks for your inputs Adam.
I was initially fixed the board and spl nand detection changes, I hope these changes would resolve. let's see.

I did apply the above mentioned 3 patches but nand boot is still not working.

Your U-Boot version shows the version is U-Boot SPL 2016.09-rc2-gc347b70c408b which is a couple years old. Can you try 2019.01 with those patches I mentioned or the imx branch? I know there have been changes to U-Boot over time.
The last of the patches I applied to set the final configuration settings for my board to boot from NAND are here: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1024016/
I don't know if that helps your board or not.

I can confirm that applying these three patches fixes booting from NAND on a custom i.MX6ULL board with Micron NAND flash.

Would you mind replaying to the various patch threads adding your 'tested-by'?
