[U-Boot] NAND: bad block in whole chip

Dont know if can be a hardware problem, cause NAND is found in localbus:

I just copy/paste nand_scan code (from nand_base.c) and try this:

With u-boot-1.1.4 + drivers from u-boot-1.3.4:

DDR RAM: 128 MB
FLASH: 16 MB
In:    serial
Out:   serial
Err:   serial
NAND:  64 MiB

=> nand scan

        Maf. ID: 0x00   -   Dev. ID: 0x00
=> nand scan

        Maf. ID: 0x20   -   Dev. ID: 0x76
=> nand scan

        Maf. ID: 0x00   -   Dev. ID: 0x00
=> nand scan

        Maf. ID: 0x20   -   Dev. ID: 0x76


Maf. ID: 0x20, Dev. ID: 0x76: the right nand, NAND512W3A2BN6E from STMICRO

And if I use another command like "nand bad", then I got just 0x00 in
all other "nand scan" commands.


Now with u-boot-1.1.4 + drivers from first upm release:

DDR RAM: 128 MB
FLASH: 16 MB
In:    serial
Out:   serial
Err:   serial
NAND:  64 MiB

=> nand scan

        Maf. ID: 0x00   -   Dev. ID: 0x00
=> nand scan

        Maf. ID: 0x00   -   Dev. ID: 0x00
=> nand scan

        Maf. ID: 0x00   -   Dev. ID: 0x00
=> nand scan

        Maf. ID: 0x00   -   Dev. ID: 0x00


0x00 in all tries.

Each version cause a different behavior, so not sure if can be hardware

Cheers,
