This image contains two parts: a first stage image(also -call 4K NAND loader and a second stage image. The former is appended to -the latter to produce u-boot-nand.bin. - -The bootup process can be divided into two stages: the first stage will -configure the L2SRAM, then copy the second stage image to L2SRAM and jump -to it. The second stage image is to configure all the hardware and boot up -to U-Boot command line. - -The 4K NAND loader's code comes from the corresponding nand_spl directory, -along with the code twisted by CONFIG_NAND_SPL. The macro CONFIG_NAND_SPL -is mainly used to shrink the code size to the 4K size limitation. - -The macro CONFIG_SYS_RAMBOOT is used to control the code to produce the -second stage image. It's set in the board config file when boot from NAND -is selected. - -Build and boot steps --------------------- - -1.

When power on, the porcessor excutes the ROM code to -initialize the eSPI/eSDHC controller, and loads the mian U-Boot image from -the memory device that interfaced to the controller, such as the SDCard or -SPI EEPROM, to the target memory, e.g. SDRAM or L2SRAM, then boot from it. - -The memory device should contain a specific data structure with control word -and config word at the fixed address. The config word direct the process how -to config the memory device, and the control word direct the processor where -to find the image on the memory device, or where copy the main image to. The -user can use any method to store the data structure to the memory device, only -if store it on the assigned address. - -Build and boot steps --------------------- - -For boot from eSDHC: -1.
