Comment (by wmb at firmworks.com):

 I have already added checking facilities to the firmware, which will
 appear in the next firmware release.

 ok verify-nand disk:\boot\nand300.img

 verify-nand compares the NAND FLASH image with the data on the USB disk
 file.

 ok crc-img disk:\boot\nand300.img  disk:\boot\nand300.crc

 crc-img computes a CRC-32 for each erase block (i.e. chunk of 0x20000
 bytes) within the  image file on the USB disk file, comparing it to a list
 of block CRCs in the .crc file.

 ok crc-nand disk:\boot\nand300.crc

 crc-img computes a CRC-32 for each erase block (i.e. chunk of 0x20000
 bytes) on the NAND FLASH, comparing it to a list of block CRCs in the .crc
 file.

 Each line of the .crc file is a standard CRC32, seeded with -1, of a
 0x20000 byte chunk of the JFFS2 image, formatted as with "%08x\n".  I have
 a Forth program to generate the .crc file from a .img file, but it would
 probably be a good idea to write a C program to generate it and add it to
 the autoreinstallation image.
