so you have to update this function to your hardware (ie : to add 4k page

Ok, thanks a lot for your help I hope it won't be too complicated implementing the support...

Are you using internal or external boot ?

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the quick response, what I would like to know is where is the actual entry point to the code,
i.e. the "main()" function...
I'm asking this because when I try to boot barebox on my board with the different NAND I don't even get a prompt on
the serial line so I figured the image is not read properly.

Thanks,

Boaz.

4096 page NAND boot support on iMX35 PDK board

[Boaz Ben-David]

Hi all,

I just started using barebox on the iMX35 PDK and I have a bit of a problem.
My actual board is based on the PDK but with a slight change: the NAND chip is of newer generation and
has 4k page and 218 oob area.
I need to add support to boot from 4k pages in barebox and I can't seem to find any documentation on how to do that.
Can anyone point me in the right direction as to where to find this in the barebox code?

Thanks,

Boaz.
