Hi all,

    I use "flinfo" to display the nand flash information under uboot prompt, 
and
find that only two sectors are ready-only, but the other sectors could be
 read-write, why could happen this? I do nothing changes in uboot and
on my development board Marvell5182.
    So I decide to re-load a new u-boot.bin to the boot flash, then reboot 
the
system, and do the same thing as before, but I find that the boot flash has 
been
changed to be read-only too, I don't know why? Could anybody tell?

Here is my print information from superterminal:
