    I am having trouble locating the command sequence to install the kernel and bootloader to NOR flash.

    If someone who knows could describe the operation and provide a listing of the commands I would be most gratefull.

    I am looking to make this iMX31 Litekit stand alone, so I will not need the Host machine.

    Edit:
    I've been trying :
    add-yaffs boot nor 0xA0000000 0x00100000

    and that will succedd, but I cannot mount it.
    mount yaffs boot

    this returns error code 21, which does not tell me much.

    any insight on what I am doing wrong would be great.
    Thanks

    Hello huangbo74,

    Actually I gave up on the NOR flash install.

    and Instead I am using the NAND.

    Here is a listing of the commands I used.


    erase B0 B128 /dev/nand0
    add-yaffs boot nand B0 B128
    mount yaffs /boot
    cp /tftp/192.168.1.161:loader /boot/loader
    cp /tftp/192.168.1.161:zImage /boot/zImage
    load elf /boot/loader
    load raw 0x81000000 1635640 /boot/zImage
    exec 0x800d03a8
