Hello! You can use for example config file, like it has kwbimage.c which is integrated into mkimage and has support for NAND ECC settings.
Thank you, I was unaware of this config file approach. From a quick look at doc/README.kwbimage it seems quite reasonable for device-specific parameters.

Or another option could be to extend mkimage tool to accept new argument for specifying NAND settings. As we can see more image formats have support for it, so some abstraction in mkimage makes sense here.
In principle I agree. But practically speaking I see two problems:
- mkimage already has far too many options
- covering all possible vendor-specific values/encodings of NAND
parameters would be quite a task
So I am inclined to keep it simple for now, and try using a config file.
The traditional way to handle this is to specify a config file with -n. See e.g. mtk_image
