Currently, I have the uboot-nand-dump crate which is meant for providing a last resort for backing up the original firmware of some devices/instruments with NAND flash and U-Boot bootloader (but without the MMC/USB/FAT subsystem for quick dumping into the USB disk or SD card), especially if it is inappropriate to disassemble the NAND chip (which might be risky for some people).
I'm afraid that I will not be here to maintain this crate in the future. So I searched for U-Boot on crates.io, seeking for possible new owner(s), and discovered your uboot-shell crate. I've learnt something here, like sending Ctrl+C to ensure of the clean and safe state of the U-Boot shell. I've also thought about your loady function, which will be useful for a future NAND writing feature (there is a ymodem crate, though).
However, I began to hesitate about transferring uboot-nand-dump to @ZR233 after looking at his/her avatar, which seems like a spirit with blue hair. To be honest, this is a bit absurd, and it might conflict with some convention in the community targeted by this utility crate (I mean the elder people on forums like EEVBlog). It was quite an effort to make this tool reliable, and I've tried to make the code readable so that people won't be suspicious about malicious code hidden in it. And... such an avatar of an owner might make some people think it is unreliable.
Anyway, thanks for checking out that crate.
