Hi Sharma-san,
If I use u-boot to write kernel image to onenand that the kernel image
across bad blocks, will u-boot able to skip blocks during read and
successfully boot up the kernel?
Also, same case for rootfs, if I write JFFS2 format rootfs to onenand
using u-boot, how does the kernel handle the rootfs if rootfs across bad
blocks?
Many thanks.
Best regards,
Geiger
