1. This is handled in config.bib file depending on IMGFLASH environment
variable value.

2. NOR Flash can be directly memory-accessed for reading and execution, so
it means that you can jump and execute at an address in NOR. For NAND, you
have to send commands to access datas, so you can't just jump and execute :
you have to copy code in SDRAM prior this. This means that you'll have to
develop a specific FMD layer to handle your image in NAND. MS provides a
model to handle this layer (MSFLASHFMD) and integrate it in both eboot
context (for image loading) and block storage driver (for applicative
access). Look at SMDK2410 BSP : it implements this model
