Hi,
the latest U-Boot is starting to work on GTA04 as well :)
[it already works for a while on Pyra and Letux Cortex 8]
Everything is fine when booting from µSD.
This includes a reworked the boot.scr.
And I have worked on adding OneNAND support (GTA04, Neo900)
and making the new MLO/U-Boot boot from flash.
This basically also works. At least the MLO/X-Loder
and loading U-Boot for NAND.
If booting from NAND (GTA04A3/A4) U-Boot does not find
the MMC card. It says it can not control power. Strange.
But I can imagine that U-Boot assumes that the MMC power
has already been initialized by MLO when booting from µSD
and simply doesn't do it again.
For OneNAND (GTA04A5) the problem is a little different.
Basically flashing the OneNAND seems to work, but shows
strange effects. E.g. telling that it wrote 0 bytes but
still says OK.
The effect is that the MLO from OneNAND does not boot
because it is not there...
This all could have its reason in a different block
size of the OneNAND.
And I remember from the tests done some years ago that
OneNAND is organised as 16 bit and the MLO reads 8 bits
only. So it was required to pad the MLO binary for OneNAND
when flashing (which is something I have not tried yet).
So still some cm to drill through granite :)
If you want to take a look (and help?):
