I looked at the code and the datasheet, and without getting into it too
deeply, I don't see how BCH is involved in an erase operation. What
specifically are you seeing happen?
The "Raw NAND Boot Mode" section (12.12 in my copy of the i.MX28 manual)
says that it uses BCH for ECC -- is this not the case? Is it some
special configuration of BCH?
I tried reading the "Bad Block Handling in the ROM" section and got a
headache.
I work for the PowerPC side of Freescale, in case you're wondering why
I'm unfamiliar with this. :-)
