[U-Boot] [PATCH 0/5] Add support for using an UBI volume for environment

2013-02-08 Thread Joe Hershberger
NAND is not good at handling absolute addresses to sectors for storing particular data. The current implementation of the NAND env support works around this in several ways such as storing a pointer to the sector in the OOB of the first sector (interferes with some CRC) or supporting a range of se
