Hi everyone,

Want to confirm that the IMX8M Nano supports booting off the below linked NAND through the GPMI interface.

Hi Luishernandez1,

Reviewing the datasheet from the NAND and the iIMX8M nano it should be compatible with no further problems, also one can check the reference manual on the chapter 6.1.5 Boot devices (internal boot), please take a look on the fragment from the manual:

- Raw NAND (MLC and SLC), and Toggle-mode NAND flash through GPMI-2
interface, located at CS0. Page sizes of 2 KB, 4 KB, and 8 KB. The bus widths of 8-
bit with 2 through 62-bit BCH hardware ECC (Error Correction) are supported.

Regards,
