Is it possible to have a silent console with the 'silent' environment variable if the environment is stored in NAND?
The storage location of the environment should have nothing to do with the functionality.
Essentially both: #define CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE #define CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND
are defined, but I am not seeing a dark console with silent=1.
There may be problems with your current implementation, like the environment not being available soon enough. You can test this by changing the console bausrate using setenv / saveenv. Cn you still see all boot messages?
The environment is often not available early enough when booting from NAND. CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST was meant to address this, but I only see one board using it so far. CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST also may need some fixing regarding where saveenv writes the environment, if there's a bad block in the preceding U-Boot image.
