Oh, sorry then. I thought you were related in some way to Circuitco.
Anyway, looking at the NAND cape wiki page, there's a sign saying
there's no software support for the cape.

Odd as it sound, maybe the cape is really not usable :-(

In case anybody has this same issue, there are some patches floating
around from Pekon Gupta to support x16 NAND in U-Boot, but they are
still work-in-progress and could need some tweaking:

Thanks!
