I see. But is that the case with all lantiq nand boards? Do they all 
have the same bootrom? By the looks of it they don't all have the same
page size (HH3A has 512 byte, P-2812HNU has 2K).

Having read your explanation, I guess that I was in fact replacing just
the actual uboot part. I left the pre-boot partition intact, and I
suppose that contains the pre-pre-loader and the pre-loader. However
my uboot image was trying to do all the low-level initialisation, which
had already been done. So maybe I could forget about spl, and simply use
the factory preloaders to boot a uboot image which skips the low level
stuff. What do you think?

I did a hex dump of the factory uboot on the HH3A, and it does have
XWAY_EBU_BOOTCFG at location 0x10. I tried my own builds with this and
without. Without it the board reboots immediately, with it it hangs.

Thanks,

Ben
