kobs-ng unable to extract NCB or update bootstream

Hello all,


We've been using the UUU (mfgtools 3.0) to program an IMX6ULL processor using Toshiba TH58NVG3S0H NAND Flash Storage. U-boot programs and operates properly; loading and booting the linux image that we've been using. We are now attempting to update one of the uboot 'slots' using the kobs-ng tool's update command. We believe the tool is unable to properly decode the NCB. We receive the same error with both the 'update' command and the 'dump' command.


Output when programming uboot with kobs-ng:

What could be causing the fingerprint mismatch?


The fingerprint locations that kobs-ng is checking are the same as where it programed them to.


This is the nand configuration info that we added to the 'nand_ids.c'


{"TH58NVG3S0H 8G 3.3V 8-bit",
        { .id = {0x98, 0xd3, 0x91, 0x26, 0x76, 0x16, 0x08, 0x00} },
          SZ_4K, SZ_1K, SZ_256K, 0, 8, 256, NAND_ECC_INFO(8, SZ_512) },


Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
