...and not bricking your device.
(Because I've done that already).
Got a new
NSA325v2 and I see some bad blocks. I'd like to load the Arch kirkwood UBoot, or the bodhi UBoot, but I want to confirm my understanding here first. And that is:
That uboot flashed
mtd0 only and that bad blocks else where should not brick the device.
From
dmesg I see that I have two bad blocks, but from the addresses that they are in
mtd5 and
mtd6.
