[U-Boot-Users] Problem in writing downloaded image to NAND device

[Dharmosoth Seetharam]

Hi,

Thank you for quick suggestion.

I have one doubt in NAND write/read PATH.

How can be "n" (where n=len) characters are 
going to written this->IO_ADDR_W.


As per the above fro loop, I am getting confuse
that is - for each character from buf ( ie. buf[i])
the dest. address will be the same. So, there will be
a overwriting to the same dest. address in NAND.

Is there any logic behind this stmt ?? 


Please suggest me the right way to understand the 
NAND write PATH from U-Boot code.


Thanks,
Seetharam
