Dear Scott Wood,

Hmmm I suppose that is a good point. The main issue with SPI flash is that it is extremely slow, and writing a few MB can take a minute or so. The 'sf update' command was intended to do a smart update, and the progress is useful for that. Other storage types are not so bad.
NOR can be pretty slow as well -- and it does have a progress indicator in U-Boot (albeit a simpler one).
Actually even this should be configurable.
Especially the spinning wheel used on some boards is a mess.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
