I/O size 2048 bytes libscan: scanning eraseblock 4095 — 100 % complete ubiformat: 4094 eraseblocks have valid erase counter, mean value is 105 ubiformat: bad eraseblocks: 13, 666 ubiformat: flashing eraseblock 50 — 100 % complete ubiformat: formatting eraseblock 4095 — 100 % complete Note, this has some hints for those who implement a flasher program.
