novice user problems NAND Flash not found in NAND position

Forum: Linux
Eero A. Sarlin 
system: mini2440 with vga adapter and an samsung monitor on it,
system first showed only stripes in the display.

I loaded test2440 

i started vivi
in vivi
l did x and got one bad sector error
I v loaded supervivi_mini2440
I K loaded zimage_vga1024x768
I Y loaded root_qtopia

after many unsuccesful attempts I tried another root image :
D:\images\linux
D:\images\2440test\2440test_vga1024x768.bin
since loading address was shown in the vivi screen as 0x30008000 i went to
vivi shell (q)
and commanded go 0x30008000
it errored as:
Supervivi> go 0x3008000
go to 0x03008000
  argument 0 = 0x00000000
  argument 1 = 0x00000000
  argument 2 = 0x00000000
  argument 3 = 0x00000000
system hanged up
i reset it to get back vivi menu
i then used d command with same file, and got display of sunflowers good
the vga card works.


i turned system off, and tried to run system, but got following repeating
error message:

Eero A. Sarlin 
the reason for the problem was, that I had programmed old version of VIVI 
to the NANDflash and that version does not support Hynic NAND Flash

after programming supervivi and doing (in VIVI menu)
 X for bon part 0 320k 2368k
tried V, but it did not accept vivi download before 
7 concecutive (f) format operations, the board started to accept more
content without crashing to the first bad block.

Im quite puzzled, but that shows how important the NOR flash option is.

without it the board would have become bricked.
