Currently you need to define the page-size of the NAND used for booting (512
bytes vs. 2k). The 2k 4xx NAND bootin

My personal preference for bringing up a new board is placing u-boot
in RAM using the available information to
Nowadays, do many (PowerPC) embedded devices already risk omitting
NOR flash and use a NAND device solely for booting and storing images ?
I'm talking about systems with 10 years life-cycle (so no
MP3-players nor medical systems but somewhere in between).
We have a MPC8313E-RDB and I know booti
