We are using UBoot 1.0.0, During continuous 2nd erase operation, the no .of DOT is increased. I like to know whether this is something do with UBoot or flash chip or is it normal behavior ??

This is normal behaviour. The dots are printed one per second, so they give an apprximation how long the erase takes. It is normal that it will take longer and longer the older your flash gets (i. e. the more rease cycles it has gone through)

ROM # erase B0100000 B07FFFFF .............................................. done Erased 111 sectors ROM # erase B0100000 B07FFFFF ..................................................... done Erased 111 sectors ROM #

In this case the increase was approx. 15% which is poretty long; either your flash is brand new (burn in phase) or it's pretty old (near end of life)?
