use whoosh to aid in NAND boot

[strawbot]

I've been doing some digging for a faster way to boot linux on the imx53 from NAND using the serial port. The board I'm working on has a NAND that the imx53 cannot boot from so I am booting the board by sending it a huge uboot file (300K) over a serial port at 115200. This takes a long time. The uboot then is used to boot the linux out of the NAND. whoosh looks like it might be a possible replacement for uboot. From what I understand so far, I would have to add code to whoosh to copy the kernel out of NAND into DRAM. Perhaps a few more tweaks here and there. My board is a superset of QSB - no SDCARD, and with NAND. What do you think?

hello alexandrebelloni: If i want to add some not naked function to whoosh,what can i do. I just add the function like this: void test(){

 }
void NAKED BOOT boot{
       test();
       _asm volatile("nop");
  }
  The test() function above which is what i have added.Now it will be found that _asm volatile("nop") will not be executed.

@strawbot and @JackWellem any luck adding NAND boot support? I'm using iMX6SX and this is a pretty desirable feature.
