| IFC region map from core's view |
| ------------------------------- |
| During boot i.e. IFC Region #1:- |
| 0x30000000 - 0x37ffffff : 128MB : NOR flash |
| 0x3C000000 - 0x40000000 : 64MB : CPLD |
| |
| After relocate to DDR i.e. IFC Region #2:- |
| 0x5_1000_0000..0x5_1fff_ffff Memory Hole |

| Booting Options |
| --------------- |
| a) NOR boot |
| b) NAND boot |
| |
| Booting Linux flavors which do not support 48-bit VA (< Linux 3.18) |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| One needs to use appropriate bootargs to boot Linux flavors which do |
| not support 48-bit VA (for e.g. < Linux 3.18) by appending mem=2048M, as shown |
| below: |
| |
| => setenv bootargs 'console=ttyS1,115200 root=/dev/ram |
| earlycon=uart8250,mmio,0x21c0600,115200 default_hugepagesz=2m hugepagesz=2m |
| hugepages=16 mem=2048M' |
