i.MX6 Dual-lite with 2GB DDR

For SOM iMX6 Dual-lite with 2GB DDR requires a special U-Boot change to support the 2GB DDR with imx6 Dual-lite...

By default the general iMX6 U-Boot configured to support 1GB DDR when detected imx6 Dual-liteSOM version, so you need to rebuild your U-Boot with applying the attached patch to support the 2GB DDR with SOM iMX6 Dual-lite (the attached patch should replace the default settings of the imx6 Dual-lite from 1GB to 2GB and adding the DDR calibration for the 2GB DDR).

you can follow the i.MX6 U-Boot guide to generate a new U-Boot for imx6 SOM.

The quick test can be:

1- install general i.MX6 image from Solidrun web (sr-imx6-debian-buster-20220731-cli.img.xz) & uncompress & flash it on SD Card

2- override the bootloader (U-Boot & SPL) of the SD card using the commands below:

dd if=SPL of=/dev/sdX bs=1k seek=1 conv=sync
dd if=u-boot.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1k seek=69 conv=sync

Attached here is a pre-built U-Boot and SPL with the above changes applied.
