[U-Boot] Updating u-boot through tftp

[alex889]

Hi,
I'm running u-boot on TI's davinci DM365,
I'm trying to update the u-boot from the u-boot, using these commands:

tftp 0x80700000 u-boot-1.3.4_ipnc_dm36x_xxx.bin 
nand erase 0x2C000 0x20000  
nand write 0x80700000 0x2C000 0x20000   

but when i try to run the erase command, i'm getting this error:

DM365 EVM :>nand erase 0x2c000 0x20000
NAND erase: device 0 offset 0x2c000, size 0x20000
NAND 256MiB 3,3V 8-bit: MTD Erase failure: -22

How can i do it? is this part locked?
Thanks,
Alex

Is this small page or large page NAND?  If it's large page, that's not
block-aligned.

Try defining CONFIG_MTD_DEBUG and CONFIG_MTD_DEBUG_VERBOSE.  The latter
is a value between 0 and 3, depending on how much output you want -- 0
should be sufficient for getting a basic reason for erase failure (which
in U-Boot should probably be a simple printf rather than debug output).
