Dear Jerry Van Baren,
Thanks for your kind and quick response.
I read the thread and it is going to be very useful to me. Can we use DMA to
load image from flash to ram ?
Currently I am using following command to load kernel image from flash to
ram,
bootcmd=nand read.jffs2 0x30007FC0 0x80000 0x153000;bootm 0x30007FC0
Can someone suggest me better way to quicker the process?
Thank you,
Ankur.
