Yes, I'm using raw ftd from kernel build. Other posibility is doing some
scripting with spl export step and then storing fdt into UBI volume. That
would bring in also advantage of taking bootargs into account. However I
have prepared whole UBI image with all UBI volumes and then I'm using
something like that:
flash_erase /dev/mtd0 0 0
writeloader -i MLO -o /dev/mtd0
ubiformat /dev/mtd1 -f root.ubi
So, system is booted with initramfs using SD card and NAND is reflashed with
new content - ftd manipulation would be done from Linux then.
Other possibility is to find a way, how to transfer large file into NAND
UBI aware way (without destroying erase counters) and do the same using
U-Boot scripting. I didn't look into this way (yet). Proposed patch is
the easiest way to fix that isue (I need to do it on thousands of boards,
so it has to be automated).
Also note, that if you are going to use falcon mode from FAT on SD card
you simply cannot move that SD card between boards, as you do not know
amount of memory installed.
Of course, I do not refuse to do anything better to solve this problem :)
As a side note, this solution brings in some more code (libfdt) into SPL,
so I'm playing with -flto and -fwole-program a bit. Just in case anyone
wants continue (for ARM only and incomplete):
