Hi,

No I use "nand read $load_addr AppKernel" cause I didn't know we can use
"nand read.i" - "help nand" doesn't display this information.
I tried "nand read.i" and now it works fine but I still can't boot the
kernel cause its crc is wrong I will flash the kernel again with "nand
write.i" and check if it works.

Because my embedded linux distribution is STLinux which includes support
for STM chips with this version of u-boot.
