Re: [NAND ROM] - Rom Dev only

bad blocks seems is normal.

Flash memory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

About bad blocks of NAND devices:

Most NAND devices are shipped from the factory with some bad blocks which are typically identified and marked according to a specified bad block marking strategy. By allowing some bad blocks, the manufacturers achieve far higher yields than would be possible if all blocks were tested good. This significantly reduces NAND flash costs and only slightly decreases the storage capacity of the parts.
