I've started working on porting the bcb generation code from kobs-ng over to barebox but haven't gotten it working either (and haven't had time to work on it in several weeks). That said, barebox itself works and boots fine from NAND as long as you use kobs-ng to put it there. The other partitions can be written to without issue from barebox directly (i.e. kernel, environment, root, etc). What I do: Boot all the way to Linux command line on the target, making sure that my barebox-*.img file is available either on USB flash or SD. Then from the Linux command line: kobs-ng init barebox-(whatever).img --search_exponent=1 After this, barebox should boot up nicely from NAND. Eventually, I may get back to finishing up porting the bcb code, but it won't be in the near future due to other schedule constraints. Michael Burkey PS... Out of curiosity, which SOM are you using that boots from NAND? I'm currently working with Variscite's SOM -- and life would have been much simpler if someone had just put a SPI NOR on it! _______________________________________________ barebox mailing list barebox@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/barebox
