[yocto] Flashing Yocto to SOM?

[stefano babic]

Hi Alexander,

I am afraid we are off-topic here - this is not a Yocto issue.

As you see, you can now start u-boot and you get the bootloader's shell.
The -74 error means ECC error.

I guess that on this board, as on other TI's SOC, you have to switch to
nandecc sw for kernel and rootfs. U-Boot is flashed using the hardware
ECC controller.
