Hello,

To u= pdate our platform from within a booted linux, we need tftp to write to the= nand-flash (another partition) directly.

Which one do I use? /dev/mtdx or /dev/mtdblock= x? And what happens with bad blocks here? Are these bad-block aware?

I'm using busybox The nandwrite utility (and also the Busybox version) reads data from standard input in the absence of file argument.
