It is "redirected" to the next good block after the one you're trying to write to. But it is not fully transparent. Suppose the block at 0x100000 is bad, and the next block at 0x120000 is good. If you do the above command, it will skip the bad block and write to 0x120000. But if you then do "nand write 80000000 120000 1000", you will overwrite what you previously wrote. -Scott _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
