On my new AR-300M with updated uboot no NAND flash is shown. Could it be the devicde is broken?

Furthermore “run nlf” is missing, so I have no chance to flash NAND Firmware:

@alpha1974 , is it an AR300M-Lite? The NAND is not installed in them.
No no, it´s for sure an AR300-M (not Lite-Version). It seems that U-Boot 1.1.4-g36de7573 doesn´t support my NAND flash.
@alpha1974 Did you update the uboot or did it come that way?
I read on here somewhere the old uboot can be downloaded…
The question is, do you need the NAND?
I have an AR300-M booting NOR with LEDE 170104, luci, uhttpd, lighttpd, loads of php7 modules, usb storage packages, minidlna, and various other packages and there is still 8MB of free space
Same problem here. When it arrived, I sure had the 128 MB flash.
Tried several different U-Boot (February, March, May), but now it doesn’t even show the NAND at boot:

Normally there would be the NAND showing up.
ath> nand erase
no devices available
NAND erase shows “no devices available”. So I can’t flash the NAND, not with U-Boot and not with TFTP / UART.
What parameters / env are missing?!
As I said i definitely have the 128 MB NAND flash. It showed up before I updated the UBoot.

Slightly off-topic but why did you start fiddling with you Uboot in the first place?
In order to make the switch work for choosing the boot device (NAND/NOR).
Hi
The attachment is the AR300M uboot.It contains the nand drivers,you can have a tyr
Thanks, I flashed it, but still no NAND there. btw i got two white antennas.
