Hi all,

The community teach me a lot of things about Bootloader. My level is increased very sharply. Thank you very much.

Now, i understand what is Kobs-ng and how to use this.

But one thins is unclear. Relationships between FCB and Kobs-ng.

What i know that Kobs-ng can write FCB to the NAND.

How to control FCB by using Kobs-ng? I can't find control option in Kobs-ng.

Where can i find about this information?

Best,

Eunseok.

Hi Eunseok

for example of kobs-ng usage please look at attached ucl.xml

from mfg tools, also may be useful to look at

AW: imx53 internal boot from NAND — Barebox

Best regards
