Re: [U-Boot-Users] skipping bad blocks when erasing nand

> Silently ignoring such errors without even printing a message and > setting the return code of the command is not acceptable. I guess I don't understand what's going on enough then. Is it really an error to come across a bad block? I thought that was part of the deal when using nand chips. If, for example, I want to erase a whole chip, then silently skipping bad blocks seems like the way to go. I could see keeping some kind of debug message, but something less severe than KERN_WARNING. Would that make this acceptable? Thanks for your help. -DB

Hi! I was just wondering about state of the NAND code. When I remember correctly a pretty big rewrite was done but not commited yet. Is the last patch sent to this list from Pantelis Antoniou on 5th May still the latest version? Best regards, Stefan
