Problem dumping NOR flash memory on LS1021A-TWR board

I'm using LS1021A-TWR board. I'm booting from SD card and trying to dump the NOR flash memory using "md" command. However, I'm getting the following unexpected values. How do I recover the NOR flash from this?

Also, is there a way to reset the board to the factory default settings?

=> md 60000000

Hi Jayaraj

If your NOR was mistakenly overwritten (perhaps

by another user), you can reprogram your NOR

with the correct image again by using u-boot commands.

Hi,

I figured this out. It was not a case of my NOR getting overwritten. For some reason, due to the RCW that I was using to boot from SD card, PBL didn't seem to have initialized the IFC, which was causing this issue. Once I used a good image (u-boot-with-spl-pbl.bin) with a proper RCW to boot from SD, I was able to dump the contents of the NOR flash correctly.

Thanks.
