From 4e187fbcdf602bd6661e5fe7dc3f9c17b796dc39 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dirk Behme Date: Sun, 12 Feb 2012 21:29:47 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] mx6q: mx6qsabrelite: Update the README The SD loader binary is now downloadable at https://wiki.linaro.org/Boards/MX6QSabreLite under a open-source 3-clause BSD license. Update the README for this. The discussion shows that it's hard to change the hardware regarding the default SPI NOR boot of the SabreLite boards. I.e. this will stay the default boot. Therefore remove the 'early version of' statement.

These boards need to be reflashed with a small SD card loader to support boot from SD card. This small SD card loader will be flashed into the SPI NOR. The board will still boot from SPI NOR, but the loader will in turn request the BootROM to load the U-Boot from SD card. -At the moment of writing, please check with Freescale on the availablity of -this small SD loader binary. + +The SD card loader is available from + +https://wiki.linaro.org/Boards/MX6QSabreLite + +under a open-source 3-clause BSD license. To update the SPI-NOR on the SabreLite board without the Freescale manufacturing tool use the following procedure: 1.
