Hello,

I'm start with a port for a new customer board with NOR-flash only. Our customer don't like use AT91Bootstrap.

I look at the source, but don't found any initialization code for AT91SAM926x.

My question:

Are there any plans or patches which support to use u-boot without AT91Bootstrap? or Should I do this by myself?

it was done with Ronetix on the 9263 and 9260

patch are on the ML

They will in the Mainline for the next merge

I've test them on my 9263ek tooo patch fo r the next merge

Best Regards, J.

I have tested a solution based on U-Boot-1.1.5 as modified by Atmel. The adaptation to booting via NOR flash itself was written by Alessandro Rubini:

Although it is based on old code, the documentation of the problem of booting from NOR flash on the AT91SAM9263 is worth reading.

Sincerely,
