[U-Boot] can uboot boot from spi flash?
Hi,
SPI flash seems supported in u-boot after searching it in the mailing list. But can u-boot boot from spi flash?
Thanks, -Shawn.

it completely depends on your processor. but you never said what processor you're actually using.
u-boot itself has no limitation to prevent booting from spi flash. or really any other flash type. -mike
Dear Shawn Jin,

It's a LPC3131 (ARM926EJ-S) based.
This board is not supported in mainline code, so with the existing code the answer to your question is a clear "no" (lacking all support for this board), or, after somebody ports U-Boot to that system, a "maybe" (depending if the CPU supports that boot mode and the developer decides to support it.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk

I do boot one custom MX51EVK board from ATMEL SPI NorFlash using U-BOOT-2010.06. The SPI flash driver works fine, if not mention SPI controller driver.
