Dear Marek Vasut,
In message 201304141920.32212.marex@denx.de you wrote:
Just curious: which method did you use to flash the final binary into the NAND? Did you boot the kernel and used mtd-utils?
Maybe we could add such info later into a README?
I just wrote the resulting u-boot.nand to the 0x0 of the NAND.
This is not exactly a very precise instruction...
How exactly do I write to NAND on a virgin (or bricked) system? I think Fabio's request makes a lot of sense - yes, you know how to do this, but I don't, and neither does the average user. Can we please document this? With sufficient detail everybody understands which tools you used to do this, and what the exact steps where to perform the operation?
Thanks.
Wolfgang Denk
