Hi Scott Yes thats the exact problem im going to face. But the function is a must. Could you help me understand what all are the things i will have to keep in mind if I have to write the nand write function.. i have made a list of instructions which i would have to follow from the datasheet: 1. Serial data input command - 0x80 2. 5 cycle address input 3. Serial Data loading 4 Page program confirm command - 0x10 5. read status register command - 0x70
my function just has to write over the environment variable part at 0x60000 address could you tell me wat all things i shud take care of.? Regards, Deepak Gopalakrishnan

Hi i want to write a function using which i will be able to add a new env variable from the bootstrap. cud you help me with the sequence i should follow when im writing this function... thanks and regards, Deepak Gopalakrishnan
If by "bootstrap" you mean a 4K or so bit of code that loads the main u-boot into RAM, then there's probably not enough room to do that (at least not without hacking something together that is very special-purpose and doesn't use much of the existing environment or NAND infrastructure).
