1 JFFS2 options and usage.
2 -----------------------
4 JFFS2 in U-Boot is a read only implementation of the file system in
5 Linux with the same name. To use JFFS2 define CONFIG_CMD_JFFS2.
7 The module adds three new commands.
8 fsload - load binary file from a file system image
9 fsinfo - print information about file systems
10 ls - list files in a directory
11 chpart - change active partition
13 If you boot from a partition which is mounted writable, and you
14 update your boot environment by replacing single files on that
15 partition, you should also define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_SORT_FRAGMENTS. Scanning
16 the JFFS2 filesystem takes *much* longer with this feature, though.
17 Sorting is done while inserting into the fragment list, which is
18 more or less a bubble sort. That algorithm is known to be O(n^2),
19 thus you should really consider if you can avoid it!
22 There is two ways for JFFS2 to find the disk. The default way uses
23 the flash_info structure to find the start of a JFFS2 disk (called
24 partition in the code) and you can change where the partition is with
27 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK
28 defined the first flash bank to use
30 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR
31 defines the first sector to use
34 The second way is to define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_CUSTOM_PART and implement the
35 jffs2_part_info(int part_num) function in your board specific files.
36 In this mode CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK and CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR is not
39 The input is a partition number starting with 0.
40 Return a pointer to struct part_info or NULL for error;
42 Ex jffs2_part_info() for one partition.
44 #if defined CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_CUSTOM_PART
45 #include <jffs2/jffs2.h>
47 static struct part_info part;
50 jffs2_part_info(int part_num)
53 if(part.usr_priv==(void*)1)
56 memset(&part, 0, sizeof(part));
57 part.offset=(char*)0xFF800000;
58 part.size=1024*1024*8;
60 /* Mark the struct as ready */
61 part.usr_priv=(void*)1;
72 Remove the assumption that JFFS can dereference a pointer
73 into the disk. The current code do not work with memory holes
74 or hardware with a sliding window (PCMCIA).
