Bu I have here physmap with NAND working,
but not using UPM

I always thought here was the memory size... =)

But how can I calculate the window size?

I think the concept of window size is not so clear to me...

Here is an output from someone using it:

Thats exactly what I want to do. If you say not to use physmap with
NAND, how he is doing this? Through the device tree source?


Huge thanks,
