91 Environment Variables
92 =====================
93 mcboottimeout:  MC boot timeout in milliseconds. If this variable is not defined
94                 the value CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_BOOT_TIMEOUT_MS will be assumed.
95
96 mcmemsize:      MC DRAM block size. If this variable is not defined, the value
97                 CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_DRAM_BLOCK_MIN_SIZE will be assumed.
98
99 Booting from NAND
100 -------------------
101 Booting from NAND requires two images, RCW and u-boot-with-spl.bin.
102 The difference between NAND boot RCW image and NOR boot image is the PBI
103 command sequence. Below is one example for PBI commands for QDS which uses
104 NAND device with 2KB/page, block size 128KB.
105
106 1) CCSR 4-byte write to 0x00e00404, data=0x00000000
107 2) CCSR 4-byte write to 0x00e00400, data=0x1800a000
108 The above two commands set bootloc register to 0x00000000_1800a000 where
109 the u-boot code will be running in OCRAM.
110
111 3) Block Copy: SRC=0x0107, SRC_ADDR=0x00020000, DEST_ADDR=0x1800a000,
112 BLOCK_SIZE=0x00014000
113 This command copies u-boot image from NAND device into OCRAM. The values need
114 to adjust accordingly.
115
116 SRC             should match the cfg_rcw_src, the reset config pins. It depends
117                 on the NAND device. See reference manual for cfg_rcw_src.
118 SRC_ADDR        is the offset of u-boot-with-spl.bin image in NAND device. In
119                 the example above, 128KB. For easy maintenance, we put it at
120                 the beginning of next block from RCW.
121 DEST_ADDR       is fixed at 0x1800a000, matching bootloc set above.
122 BLOCK_SIZE      is the size to be copied by PBI.
123
124 RCW image should be written to the beginning of NAND device. Example of using
125 u-boot command
126
127 nand write <rcw image in memory> 0 <size of rcw image>
128
129 To form the NAND image, build u-boot with NAND config, for example,
130 ls2085aqds_nand_defconfig. The image needed is u-boot-with-spl.bin.
131 The u-boot image should be written to match SRC_ADDR, in above example 0x20000.
132
133 nand write <u-boot image in memory> 200000 <size of u-boot image>
134
135 With these two images in NAND device, the board can boot from NAND.
