Thanks for working on that! We carry a similar command since a while
downstream and I hoped since quite a while to get some time to upstream
it:

http://git.toradex.com/cgit/u-boot-toradex.git/tree/arch/arm/imx-common/cmd_writebcb_mx7.c?h=2016.11-toradex

We used a simpler, more unix like design in that we only do the minimal
thing in that command. Maybe we should consider that upstream too:

writebcb takes one or optionally two firmware offsets and writes the
BCB/FCB/DTTB only. This allows to support one or two firmware images and
makes rewriting of the BCB unnecessary when updating the firmware (most
NAND chips guarantee only a few write cycles on the first NAND
block...). We then use U-Boot to write the firmware itself.

It seems that firmware size in the BCB is not strictly required.
Presumably the boot ROM uses the imx header to determine the size...

Any thoughts?

> +Writing/updating boot image in nand device is not straight forward in

> +
> +BCB contains two data structures, Firmware Configuration Block(FCB) and
> +Discovered Bad Block Table(DBBT). FCB has nand timings, DBBT search area,
> +page address of primary and secondary firmware. See IMX6DQRM Section 8.5.2.2
> +for more information.

> +We can't use 'nand write' command to write SPL/firmware image directly
> +like other platforms does. So we need special setup to write BCB block
> +as per IMX6QDL reference manual 'nandbcb update' command do that job.
> +
> +for nand boot, up on reset bootrom look for FCB structure in
> +first block's if FCB found the nand timings are loaded for
> +further reads. once FCB read done, DTTB will load and
> +finally primary or secondary firmware will load which is boot image.
> +
> +cmd_nandbcb will create FCB these structures
> +by taking mtd partition as an example.
> +- initial code will erase entire partition
> +- followed by FCB setup, like first 4 block for FCB/DBBT write,
> +  rest is split into two for primary and secondary firmware
> +- write firmware at primary and secondary blocks(two times same image)
> +- finally write fcb/dttb in first 4 block.
