U-Boot: nand ecc hw command missing?

Hi,

Just trying to update my MLO (X-loader) by following http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardNAND

I notice that the

nand ecc hw

command is no longer present on U-Boot 2008.10 (Nov 19 2008 - 10:38:16). Without this command, writing of MLO to nand does not result in a beagle that can boot from nand. Is there a new command for enabling hw ecc on new U-Boot versions?

Thanks

John

Can you try

nandecc hw

(without space between nand and ecc)?

We had to move this to custom command to get things accepted upstream.

That works, thanks!

All of the notes/guides that reference how to update MLO and/or uboot need to be updated accordingly, otherwise they result in unbootable beagleboards.

Thanks
