Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH 3/3] mtd/nand : workaround for Freescale FCM to support large-page Nand chip

already leaning toward having our next design boot from a small NOR or EEPROM instead. I'll also have our hardware guy take another look for 4k parts that don't require >1-bit ECC (and thanks for the link). Thanks Scott -- Matthew L. Creech __

Re: [U-Boot] U-Boot: using nand write to flash an ubi image, ubi part fails

2011-09-28 Thread Matthew L. Creech
write a new image to blank flash. 2. Use the "ubinize" tool to create an image suitable for writing directly to NAND. This takes a UBIFS image and "wraps" it to turn it into a UBI image, which you can then use with "nand write".

ion is added to generate u-boot-nand.bin with its IPL split into two 2k chunks then we can boot and run entirely from a 4k page device on MPC 83xx, correct? That would be very good news, as it seems that [some] 2k NAND parts are starting to go EOL. Thanks! -- Matthew L. Creech _
