Hi Neal,

Thanks for that.

I have no idea about the magic signing value, I have 3 questions and 
comments:

1> If I just use the original nandb.img which was dd out of the nand 
itself, will that still be needed?
2> if I do create a magic signing value again, how would I do that?
3> would this why my previous lichee-dev u-boot.bin doesn't play well with 
boot0/boot1? did I miss any magic value there?

Thanks,
-Hunter
