Dear Steve Sakoman,

I then immediately tried to use the nand read command to read the same block, and it was successful!
Hm... any chance that - for example - your timers are not working correctly before relocation (maybe because they try to write to the not yet available data segment) ? This could cause timeouts or delays to be too short, so the NAND driver is misbehaving?
The NAND driver only works after relocation.
It looks like the problem is that -EUCLEAN is a non-fatal error (indicates a correctable ECC error). The code invoked by the "nand read" command succeeds if nand_read() returns either 0 or -EUCLEAN, but readenv() is missing this check.
