How the boot the kernel on NAND

liangzhu ma

I've a L138 board ( not EVM ) and it can be successfully boot to NFS. I didn't found anyting looks like NAND flash in /dev folder. So how can I flash the kernel and root fs to the NAND flash. Thanks.

Mariana, Thanks for you reply. I've successfuly write uImage to nand and boot now. But still I cann't write rootfs now. My rootfs is not a ramdisk, its made of some folders ( e.g. root, bin, sbin ) And how can I write them to nand-flash? Another question, I want to format the nand-flash to ext3, and I haven't see anyting about how to do them and the uImage is OK in fact, why?
