Subject: i.MX NAND Boot: Make update robust against power failures
Date: Tue, 15 Mar 2016 12:19:03 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1458040754-32240-1-git-send-email-s.hauer@pengutronix.de> (raw)

The i.MX6 allows to store the barebox image and all control data around
it redundantly in the NAND. This can be used to make a barebox update
safe against power failures. The following series implements this. It
makes use of the just sent mtd-peb API.
