Can't save u-boot environment variable to NAND on imx28 platform.

[yongkimin]

I could change the path form MMC to NAND when save the u-boot variable for help.

Re: how to change the u-boot environment to NAND when saveenv on i.MX28 coustom board

And I add NAND parameters to u-boot source code so I got the below result as log.

U-Boot 2009.08 (Oct 31 2013 - 20:23:53)

function nand_init

Net:   got MAC address from IIM: 00:04:00:00:00:00

Hit any key to stop autoboot:  0

But I can't save the variable when saveenv. The log is

MX28 U-Boot > saveenv

Saving Environment to NAND...

Erasing Nand...

Erasing at 0x140000000020000 --   0% complete.

Writing to Nand... done

MX28 U-Boot >

I don't understand the eraseing address. (0x140000000020000)

When do saveenv command the function saveenv in u-boot/common/env_nand.c calls nand_erase_opts function in u-boot/drivers/mtd/nand/nand_util.c

I did the check the address erase.addr value in nand_erase_opts function.

The address erase.addr value is diffeent when call it.

Can help me?

I see you use U-boot 2009.08 , but I would recommend you to use 2013.10 instead.,

Then you build it like:

make mx28evk_nand_config

make

The 'mx28evk_nand' target stores the environment variables into the NAND flash.

You can follow these guidelines:

and

I don't understand the erasing address.. But anyway the saveenv operation is done.

Logh shows "Writing to Nand... done". If can't write the log will show "FAILED!".

Are you sure your ENV nand config setting right? There is one example in mx6q_arm2.h.

#define CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND 1

#define CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET 0x100000

Thanks raymond!

As you see the log my question. I don't understand the erasing address (address is too long) and 0% complete.

But the saveenv operaton is done. The variable after saveenv and reset was saved.

Thank you.
