Hi,

u-boot version: U-Boot 2021.07-rc1
Board: Beaglebone Black

I was trying to verify and use 'chpart' command on Beaglebone black with an
SDHC card ( with multiple partitions ) and am unable to get its exact
syntax.Is this command applicable to
any particular category of storage devices (viz. NOR flash,NAND flash etc)??
I tried using it as in its "help output" and also other combinations,
Am I missing anything,Please suggest its correct usage.
