Hi, Nishanth: Thank you for advice. Is any <board.h> and board/<vendor>/<board>/u-boot-nand.lds files available which support such and option in u-boot tree (I use 1.2.0) or any other place or you can send me example?

One approach from what we did on OMAP: since the smallest erase unit on NAND is a block, reserve as many blocks required to store U-Boot, the Env gets a block of it's own. And the rest go for kernel and Filesystem. So, we can update u-boot without loosing env vars, and env vars without loosing u-boot etc. > > Can I put environment elsewhere on NAND flash and what is bad in doing > so? Other than loosing a bit of space, I don't see any as long as u would like to organize them as per your need - e.g. if the board is never going to have env vars change you can save space and not allot one full block for it. It is really usecase driven IMHO.
