nand device num
Make device `num' the current device and print information about it.
- nand erase off size
- nand erase clean [off size]
- Erase `size' bytes starting at offset `off'. Only complete erase
- blocks can be erased.
+ nand erase off|partition size
+ nand erase clean [off|partition size]
+ Erase `size' bytes starting at offset `off'. Alternatively partition
+ name can be specified, in this case size will be eventually limited
+ to not exceed partition size (this behaviour applies also to read
+ and write commands). Only complete erase blocks can be erased.
+
+ If `erase' is specified without an offset or size, the entire flash
+ is erased. If `erase' is specified with partition but without an
+ size, the entire partition is erased.
If `clean' is specified, a JFFS2-style clean marker is written to
- each block after it is erased. If `clean' is specified without an
- offset or size, the entire flash is erased.
+ each block after it is erased.
This command will not erase blocks that are marked bad. There is
a debug option in cmd_nand.c to allow bad blocks to be erased.
nand info
Print information about all of the NAND devices found.
- nand read addr ofs size
+ nand read addr ofs|partition size
Read `size' bytes from `ofs' in NAND flash to `addr'. If a page
cannot be read because it is marked bad or an uncorrectable data
error is found the command stops with an error.
- nand read.jffs2 addr ofs size
+ nand read.jffs2 addr ofs|partition size
Like `read', but the data for blocks that are marked bad is read as
0xff. This gives a readable JFFS2 image that can be processed by
the JFFS2 commands such as ls and fsload.
- nand read.oob addr ofs size
+ nand read.oob addr ofs|partition size
Read `size' bytes from the out-of-band data area corresponding to
`ofs' in NAND flash to `addr'. This is limited to the 16 bytes of
data for one 512-byte page or 2 256-byte pages. There is no check
for bad blocks or ECC errors.
- nand write addr ofs size
+ nand write addr ofs|partition size
Write `size' bytes from `addr' to `ofs' in NAND flash. If a page
cannot be written because it is marked bad or the write fails the
command stops with an error.
- nand write.jffs2 addr ofs size
+ nand write.jffs2 addr ofs|partition size
Like `write', but blocks that are marked bad are skipped and the
is written to the next block instead. This allows writing writing
a JFFS2 image, as long as the image is short enough to fit even
produced by mkfs.jffs2 should work well, but loading an image copied
from another flash is going to be trouble if there are any bad blocks.
- nand write.oob addr ofs size
+ nand write.oob addr ofs|partition size
Write `size' bytes from `addr' to the out-of-band data area
corresponding to `ofs' in NAND flash. This is limited to the 16 bytes
of data for one 512-byte page or 2 256-byte pages. There is no check
Configuration Options:
- CFG_CMD_NAND
- A good one to add to CONFIG_COMMANDS since it enables NAND support.
+ CONFIG_CMD_NAND
+ Enables NAND support and commmands.
CONFIG_MTD_NAND_ECC_JFFS2
Define this if you want the Error Correction Code information in
to only board-specific files and - unfortunately - to the DoC code
(see below). A new configuration variable has been introduced:
CFG_NAND_LEGACY, which has to be defined in the board config file if
-that board uses legacy code. If CFG_NAND_LEGACY is defined, the board
-specific config.mk file should also have "BOARDLIBS =
-drivers/nand_legacy/libnand_legacy.a". For boards using the new NAND
-approach (PPChameleon and netstar at the moment) no variable is
-necessary, but the config.mk should have "BOARDLIBS =
-drivers/nand/libnand.a".
+that board uses legacy code.
The necessary changes have been made to all affected boards, and no
build breakage has been introduced, except for NETTA and NETTA_ISDN
