Just report back the list: I've managed to mount root from NFS, by which I can use pure Linux way to prepare my root filesystems to yaffs2 and enable HW ECC in MTD layer only. Then I can ignore the mismatch between u-boot and kernel in the ways they handing NAND OOB area.
But your boot-loader still needs to read the NAND flash for loading the kernel image. Won't it be a problem if uboot doesn't understand ECC? What if some blocks have gone bad, uboot might load a corrupted kernel image. CMIIW. -mandeep
Thanks.
