What to do for adding NAND Support in Uboot-1.1.4

Hi All,

I need to add NAND flash support in Uboot-1.1.4.
Please let me know is there any framework ready for the same or not?

If complete support for the NAND in Uboot's newer versions than Uboot-1.1.4, can let me know.

Also I need bad block handling for NAND flash in Uboot. If same is handled in Uboot then please guide me.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Subhash,

Yes, please use latest the U-Boot version from the GIT repository. It has NAND support included.

And of course bad block handling too. Without it NAND support would not make much sense. Just take a look at some of the boards that already work with NAND support.

Best regards,
Stefan

Thanks Stefan.

Is Uboot-1.1.4 have the complete supprt for NAND flash along with the Bad block handling??
If not then can you tell me which version of Uboot have the complete support for NAND flash & Bad block handling both?

Here complete support for NAND means very little we need to add in Uboot code.

Thanks again.
