Nitrogen6X run u-boot of sd card

[bens]

I have followed the freescale android user guide and have it working on a different freescale board.

But would like to get it to run on the Nitrogen6X board, but the problem is this board runs the bootloader off flash and does not have the dipswitches on SW6 to change it to SD card.

Can anyone help me get u-boot running of the sd card instead?

To test things out interactively on a Nitrogen6x board, you can use the "bmode" command:

U-Boot > bmode mmc0

You can even set this to happen automatically without re-flashing by setting bootcmd:

U-Boot > setenv bootcmd "bmode mmc0"
U-Boot > saveenv
U-Boot > reset

To put things back, use "clearenv":

U-Boot > run clearenv

Hi Ben

yes, boundary devices boards have specifics that they run only from spi-nor

flash. I think you should post this issue on boundary devices forum, since

running image from SD may be tricky and unsafe for board ("brick" it). Also

Freescale images/BSPs will not run on that board since they are designed

for other boards (Sabre SDB/SDP/AI) with different schematic.

Best regards

igor
