VAR-SOM-AM33 NAND Flash Burning

Flash Images to NAND

using nand-recovery.sh script

Variscite provides a sample script which burns all required images (MLO, U-BOOT, zImage, device tree, and UBI rootfs) to NAND-Flash.
For sample script, please refer to : https://github.com/varigit/meta-variscite-amx3/blob/master/utils/nand-recovery.sh
In the above example script, NAND-Flash binaries reside in /opt/TISDK on the SD-Card

Step by step manual flashing of NAND binaries

Replacing Nand Flash images can be done from either Linux user space or U-Boot.

From U-Boot

U-Boot # mmc rescan
U-Boot # nand erase 0x0 0x280000
U-Boot # mmc rescan
U-Boot # fatload mmc ${mmc_dev} ${loadaddr} MLO
U-Boot # nand write ${loadaddr} 0x0 0x20000
U-Boot # nand write ${loadaddr} 0x20000 0x20000
U-Boot # nand write ${loadaddr} 0x40000 0x20000
U-Boot # fatload mmc ${mmc_dev} ${loadaddr} u-boot.img
