nand erase fail on Tiny6410-2GB flash

Chechu_bs
Hi,
 Has anyone tried to erase 2GB NAND flash on Tiny6410, i tried to do it but
it  is giving me the below error. Can any please help me in giving the
right syntax for nand erase. I had tried to load my modified u-boot, i
could do the tftpboot on the load location c0008000 on RAM, but wanted to
write it back to flash. As a process first we need to erase the flash, but
it is failing with the below error. Please reply if any one knows how to
erase.

Thanks in advance   


TINY6410 # nand erase 0 40000

NAND erase: device 0 offset 0x0, size 0x40000
off size: 00000000 00040000
offset and size should be multiple of block size
ERROR

You must always erase a full block. Check the datasheet of the NAND flash,
to get an idea how large a block is for this type of NAND.

Thanks Juergen Beisert, I will look into it and update.
But one information i found while i was going through the u-boot code,
where Friendly Arm team has introduced new set of MLC type Flash and
modified the nand flash code and it was bit confusing, wanted to know the
value of "NandBlockSizeInByte". can you please help to throw some light on
this. 

Below is section of code in u-boot source file(in the file cmd_nand.c)

if (NandIsMlc()) {
 printf("off size: %08X %08X\n", off, size);
 if (off % NandBlockSizeInByte != 0 || size % NandBlockSizeInByte != 0) 
     {
       puts("offset and size should be multiple of block size\n");
       ret = -1;
     } 
  else {
  ret = FriendlyARMFormat(off / NandBlockSizeInByte, off /
NandBlockSizeInByte + size / NandBlockSizeInByte - 1, scrub);
      
       }
    
    } else

The 2 GiB flash is very special. Its page size is 8 kiB, its block size is 
1 MiB.
And this flash needs a very special handling to enable the S3C6410 CPU
booting from it (because the internal ROM code inside the S3C6410 CPU can
only handle page sizes up to 4 kiB).

Juergen Beisert,
Really thankful for your inputs.
Is there a method to handle this, all I need to do is, erase the flash for
the specified region. I believe there has to be one,but only that I am not
aware.:-) I will investigate further.

do yuo solve the problem:offset and size should be multiple of block size
