Hi Wolfgang, Thank you for that reply!
I do know that the board has NAND flash and it is seen by the u-boot. FLASH: 16 MB NAND: 1024 MiB The vendor has told us that the actual flash is lot bigger than reported by u-boot. > (assuming your out-of-tree port supports NAND booting) How do I find this out?

You cannot run the image without buring it to flash. Did you bother to read the FAQ? The very first U-Boot FAQ handles your situation: http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/CanUBootBeConfiguredSuchThatItCanBeStartedInRAM You may be able to istall a NAND booting version of U-Boot to NAND flash (assuming your out-of-tree port supports NAND booting). Once you got this working, you have a recovery system, and you can erase and re-program the NOR flash without risk.

One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies and the other is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious defi- ciencies. - Charles Anthony Richard Hoare _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
