You should copy the x-loader in the firsts 4 blocks (first 512 KiB), this is not a formated partition due the ROM not permits boot from a formated partition in flash, you should use flash_eraseall and [http://git.igep.es/?p=pub/scm/writeloader.git;a=summary writeloader] for copy x-loader in the first blocks.
<pre><span class="Apple-style-span">Suggested procedure:
Sign the x-loader before write it on the flash or microsd card.

You should execute contrib/signGP for sign the xloader that resides inside the flash memory.
contrib/signGP x-load.bin
The signed x-loader it's named: x-load.bin.ift
</pre><div><br></div></span><span class="Apple-style-span">Erase and copy the x-loader into the first flash partition(mtd0):
$nand_eraseall /dev/mtd0
$writeloader -i <x-loader.bin.ift> -o /dev/mtd0
</pre>
Due the Onenand 512 MiB has two dies it's necessary split the x-loader and convert it to a 1 die binary.
This is a know OMAP/DM/AM OneNand/Nand boot limitation.
This is the procedure for create the x-loader OneNand binary:
You should execute: (You can use copy paste in your console)
split -b 2K x-load.bin.ift split-
for file in `ls split-a?`; do cat $file >> x-load-ddp.bin.ift; cat $file >> x-load-ddp.bin.ift; done
This last command generate a file named x-load-ddp.bin.ift this is the x-loader for copy it in the OneNand.</span></pre>
