Any chance you could blow the NAND_MEMBLOCK_MARKER_RESERVE fuse? :-)
No, they are one-time programable. Delivering a "damaged" chip isn't a good practice.
I'd call it "fixed" rather than "damaged" -- they did throw in that fuse in case of "any defective ROM code in handling bad block marker byte swapping", and the entire concept is defective.
But I agree that if you're delivering them to other developers, rather than as part of a final product, they might want to make that choice themselves. And who knows, blowing the fuse might expose other defects.
Otherwise, I guess you do need to scrub. Have you complained to Freescale sales/support?
In fact no. The BootROM is "broken" and I doubt they will be willing to do anything about it.
Probably not, but they should still hear about it, if only for the chance they'll do it right next time.
