Hi all

I'm developing a board with i.MX6SoloLite and I have a question about start-up sequence.

I want to know a copy mechanism to SDRAM from boot device such as SD card etc.

During start-up sequence, U-boot that is got from boot device will be copied to SDRAM.

However, I think that their file formats are different.

How it can be copied ?

Is there any description about the copy mechanism ?

Best Regards,

ko-hey

The system boot up sequence is as following :

  1. ROM code copy 4K byte data (include IVT and DCD table) from
    boot device to OCRAM.
  2. Init the DDR base on the DCD table settings.
  3. Load the u-boot form boot device and copy it to DDR.
  4. Jump to DDR to executes the u-boot.

So, for proper boot the U-boot image should contain the IVT and DCD.

Have a great day,
Yuri
