SoC Doesn’t Read Redundant ONFI Parameter Pages in NAND Boot Mode
Low
In NAND boot mode if an ONFI NAND is detected, the SoC Boot ROM reads the NAND flash geometry from the first parameter page without checking the integrity CRCs. If there are CRC errors in the page, the ROM could use incorrect information about the NAND geometry and could fail to boot. The ONFI standard indicates that the CRC should be checked and in case of CRC errors a redundant parameter page should be used.
Instead of using ONFI NAND, a non-ONFI NAND can be used. Note that when selecting a specific non-ONFI NAND, the Read ID and Geometry of the NAND should be compared to the supported configurations documented in the device Technical Reference Manual.
