Hi All,
suppose the image I want to flash is bigger than the available ram in the unit.
Is there a way to copy the image f.i. in pieces into the flash? nand write should have a 'continue on last block' option for that purpose. Thanks!
Jaap

Something like that would be nice.

These patches are relevant:

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/204940/

That could do the trick also. You would have to do some arithmetic to calculate the next startaddress in the flash.
So there is not an out-of-the-box solution at the moment?

There isn't.
