Hi,

while I study the nand_spl.c jump to the mxc_nand_spl.c the page count is 
calculated ( page = from / CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_SIZE ) where from is the
CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_OFFS

that means:
#define CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO 6144  /* must match CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_SIZE boundery */
#define CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_OFFS CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO

or some funny things happen to the u-boot.bin image in ram ..

comments welcome.

Chris
