    Are you talking about external NAND FLASH connected via FMC/FSMC?

    ST may have some libraries supporting NAND FLASH including bad block management, but you have to contact ST directly.

    I am asking about internal NAND flash in STM32f769BI. I don't know how to find bad block management in NAND flash. ECC only returns error and busy then how to find the bad block.

    The internal FLASH is guaranteed to have the number of read/write cycles specified in the datasheet. I suspect it is NOR flash, not NAND flash, but can't find anything definitive in ST docs.

    I don't see anything in the reference manual which suggests the internal FLASH has an ECC check on this chip. Perhaps you can clarify what you're seeing exactly.
