should work well, but loading an image copied from another flash is
going to be trouble if there are any bad blocks.
+ nand write.trimffs addr ofs|partition size
+ Enabled by the CONFIG_CMD_NAND_TRIMFFS macro. This command will write to
+ the NAND flash in a manner identical to the 'nand write' command
+ described above -- with the additional check that all pages at the end
+ of eraseblocks which contain only 0xff data will not be written to the
+ NAND flash. This behaviour is required when flashing UBI images
+ containing UBIFS volumes as per the UBI FAQ[1].

nand write.oob addr ofs|partition size
Write `size' bytes from `addr' to the out-of-band data area
corresponding to `ofs' in NAND flash. This is limited to the 16 bytes
of data for one 512-byte page or 2 256-byte pages. There is no check
for bad blocks.
+ nand read.raw addr ofs|partition [count]
+ nand write.raw addr ofs|partition [count]
+ Read or write one or more pages at "ofs" in NAND flash, from or to
+ "addr" in memory. This is a raw access, so ECC is avoided and the
+ OOB area is transferred as well. If count is absent, it is assumed
+ to be one page. As with .yaffs2 accesses, the data is formatted as
+ a packed sequence of "data, oob, data, oob, ..." -- no alignment of
+ individual pages is maintained.

Configuration Options:
CONFIG_CMD_NAND
CONFIG_SYS_NAND_MAX_CHIPS
The maximum number of NAND chips per device to be supported.
- CONFIG_SYS_DAVINCI_BROKEN_ECC
- Versions of U-Boot <= 1.3.3 and Montavista Linux kernels
- generated bogus ECCs on large-page NAND. Both large and small page
- NAND ECCs were incompatible with the Linux davinci git tree (since
- NAND was integrated in 2.6.24).
- Turn this ON if you want backwards compatibility.
- Turn this OFF if you want U-Boot and the Linux davinci git kernel
- to use the same ECC format.
+ CONFIG_SYS_NAND_SELF_INIT
+ Traditionally, glue code in drivers/mtd/nand/nand.c has driven
+ the initialization process -- it provides the mtd and nand
+ structs, calls a board init function for a specific device,
+ calls nand_scan(), and registers with mtd.
+
+ This arrangement does not provide drivers with the flexibility to
+ run code between nand_scan_ident() and nand_scan_tail(), or other
+ deviations from the "normal" flow.
+
+ If a board defines CONFIG_SYS_NAND_SELF_INIT, drivers/mtd/nand/nand.c
+ will make one call to board_nand_init(), with no arguments. That
+ function is responsible for calling a driver init function for
+ each NAND device on the board, that performs all initialization
+ tasks except setting mtd->name, and registering with the rest of
+ U-Boot. Those last tasks are accomplished by calling nand_register()
+ on the new mtd device.
+
+ Example of new init to be added to the end of an existing driver
+ init:
+
+ /*
+ * devnum is the device number to be used in nand commands
+ * and in mtd->name. Must be less than
+ * CONFIG_SYS_NAND_MAX_DEVICE.
+ */
+ mtd = &nand_info[devnum];
+
+ /* chip is struct nand_chip, and is now provided by the driver. */
+ mtd->priv = &chip;
+
+ /*
+ * Fill in appropriate values if this driver uses these fields,
+ * or uses the standard read_byte/write_buf/etc. functions from
+ * nand_base.c that use these fields.
+ */
+ chip.IO_ADDR_R = ...;
+ chip.IO_ADDR_W = ...;
+
+ if (nand_scan_ident(mtd, CONFIG_SYS_MAX_NAND_CHIPS, NULL))
+ error out
+
+ /*
+ * Insert here any code you wish to run after the chip has been
+ * identified, but before any other I/O is done.
+ */
+
+ if (nand_scan_tail(mtd))
+ error out
+
+ if (nand_register(devnum))
+ error out
+
+ In addition to providing more flexibility to the driver, it reduces
+ the difference between a U-Boot driver and its Linux counterpart.
+ nand_init() is now reduced to calling board_nand_init() once, and
+ printing a size summary. This should also make it easier to
+ transition to delayed NAND initialization.
+
+ Please convert your driver even if you don't need the extra
+ flexibility, so that one day we can eliminate the old mechanism.
NOTE:
=====
The current NAND implementation is based on what is in recent
-Linux kernels. The old legacy implementation has been disabled,
-and will be removed soon.
+Linux kernels. The old legacy implementation has been removed.
If you have board code which used CONFIG_NAND_LEGACY, you'll need
to convert to the current NAND interface for it to continue to work.
"nand unlock [offset] [size]"
unlock consecutive area (can be called multiple times for different areas)
+ "nand unlock.allexcept [offset] [size]"
+ unlock all except specified consecutive area
I have tested the code with board containing 128MiB NAND large page chips
and 32MiB small page chips.
