Procedure to load uboot through SPI on a bareboard

[Irfan3]

Hi Team,

I am currently using T2081 based custom board. I need to load RCW and U-boot on the board through SPI flash.

Can someone suggest me how to perform this operation correctly. Currently i am referring the SDK 2.0 document for flashing u-boot on SPI flash through codewarrior. But in console i am getting error also  it gets stopped at "Loading secondary stage bootloader".

So can anyone suggest how to solve this issue?

FYI,

I am using N25Q512A flash device for programming spi flash.

Thanks & Regards,

Irfan

There is a very detailed application note which explains how to debug u-Boot on
PowerPC targets:

https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/application-note/AN4876.pdf

The appnote explains the specific of various boot scenarios, including SPI boot.

The secondary stage runs from the system DDR memory which is supposed to be
fully initialized and ready after the first stage. If the boot process
gets stuck stuck after an attempt to load, or to transfer control to the second stage,
the first recommended step is to check your memory: (a) run memory tests;
(b) follow the appnote mentioned above to debug your u-Boot.
