[U-Boot] [PATCH 0/2] arm: vf610: Change Vybrid Tower boot memory.
Without the second patch, U-Boot will not boot on the Vybrid tower systems for me. A better mechanism would be to use the SPL to load direct to DDR3. However, the gfxRAM is large enough to fit the current (~400KB) image for initial load. U-Boot is relocated to DDR3 when initialized, so the life in gfxRAM is small.
I also discovered some redundant defines in the same file.

Some MTD defines are repeated twice; once with UBI and then with MTD. Remove the duplicate MTD defines from the UBI grouping.

Applied to u-boot/master, thanks!
The gfxRAM has no ECC, but it is 512KB in size. The other ECC SRAM comes in two banks of 256K each. The HAB uses parts of the 2nd bank and it seems that loading from the SD card may not exceed a bank size (256k-32k boot offset = 224k). U-boot since v2014.04 are larger than this and do not boot by default.
As U-Boot relocates to DDR3 the gfxRAM is probably reliable enough. However, an SPL framework would be better.

We use gfxRAM since quite some time and it proved working fine, see: http://git.toradex.com/cgit/u-boot-toradex.git/tree/include/configs/colibri_...
Also you can specify the board size limit using CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT.
