I tried two different scripts but with no success, update_nand_firmware_full and update_nand_firmware, see logs below.
The former script even scrubbed the nand partition.
To be certain that my files were ok I took the u-boot.sb file and downloaded it into the board using MfgTool (double checking the file by changing the name to something unique and verifying that MfgTool failed at the first attempt before setting the same filename in the ucl.xml). After loading with MfgTool the board starts U-Boot. Partial MfgTool log is available below.
So my conclusion is that kobs-ng does something with the u-boot.sb file that isnt done by the U-Boot script. As a side note that could be a hint, if I erase the default ramdisk partition U-Boot stops working with the same symptom. See the log below.
So any further hint would be really appreciated.
