Hi,
in nand_spl/nand_boot.c in function nand_read_page() one can read the comment in the case of ECC errors: "No chance to do something with the possible error message from correct_data(). We just hope that all possible errors are corrected by this routine."
Why can't we do anything? If an uncorrectable error has been recognized, we could at least execute an endless loop or issue a reset. Depending on the bit errors and their location in the U-Boot image, U-Boot may though boot and a runtime error could probably appear never or later or only under special circumtances. Because this is a risk (the image is corrupted), what do you think of inserting some blocking functionality?
Or did I missed something in interpreting this code?
Kind regards, Jens
