Then the ebu configuration word needs to be set in the nandspl image, as it is for norspl. Once again, the following fixed that for arx100, and I think something similar will be required for danube and vrx200. actually the BootROM should correctly configure the EBU to be able to read at least the first page from NAND flash. The XWAY_EBU_BOOTCFG is only used for parallel NOR to setup various command timings and delays. I did a hex dump of the factory uboot on the HH3A, and it does have XWAY_EBU_BOOTCFG at location 0x10. I tried my own builds with this and without. Without it the board reboots immediately, with it it hangs.
