Dear Wolfgang, thanks for your reply.
Actually we are using NAND, since NAND usually comes with some bad blocks from the provider I am worried about the procedure and best practices.
Thank you a lot.

Hi folks this is probably out off topic, we are happily using uboot in our devices but I am wondering about the procedures to flash/deploy uboot (or any bootloader) in a high scale production environment.
What sort of boot device are you using? NOR flash? NAND flash?
For high volumes, you can get pre-programmed flash chips, so you have a running system when the boards come from assembly.
Best regards,
