Commands:
address of u-boot MTD partition in NAND.
CONFIG_CMD_NAND
- Enables NAND support and commmands.
+ Enables NAND support and commands.
CONFIG_CMD_NAND_TORTURE
Enables the torture command (see description of this command below).
- CONFIG_MTD_NAND_ECC_JFFS2
- Define this if you want the Error Correction Code information in
- the out-of-band data to be formatted to match the JFFS2 file system.
- CONFIG_MTD_NAND_ECC_YAFFS would be another useful choice for
- someone to implement.
-
CONFIG_SYS_MAX_NAND_DEVICE
The maximum number of NAND devices you want to support.
The maximum number of NAND chips per device to be supported.
CONFIG_SYS_NAND_SELF_INIT

the initialization process -- it provides the mtd and nand
structs, calls a board init function for a specific device,
calls nand_scan(), and registers with mtd.
run code between nand_scan_ident() and nand_scan_tail(), or other
deviations from the "normal" flow.
- If a board defines CONFIG_SYS_NAND_SELF_INIT, drivers/mtd/nand/nand.c
+ If a board defines CONFIG_SYS_NAND_SELF_INIT, drivers/mtd/nand/raw/nand.c
will make one call to board_nand_init(), with no arguments. That
function is responsible for calling a driver init function for
each NAND device on the board, that performs all initialization
Example of new init to be added to the end of an existing driver
init:
- /*
- * devnum is the device number to be used in nand commands
- * and in mtd->name. Must be less than
- * CONFIG_SYS_NAND_MAX_DEVICE.
- */
- mtd = &nand_info[devnum];
-
/* chip is struct nand_chip, and is now provided by the driver. */
- mtd->priv = &chip;
+ mtd = nand_to_mtd(&chip);
/*
* Fill in appropriate values if this driver uses these fields,
if (nand_scan_tail(mtd))
error out
- if (nand_register(devnum))
+ /*
+ * devnum is the device number to be used in nand commands
+ * and in mtd->name. Must be less than CONFIG_SYS_MAX_NAND_DEVICE.
+ */
+ if (nand_register(devnum, mtd))
error out
In addition to providing more flexibility to the driver, it reduces
And fetching device parameters flashed on device, by parsing
ONFI parameter page.
- CONFIG_BCH
- Enables software based BCH ECC algorithm present in lib/bch.c
- This is used by SoC platforms which do not have built-in ELM
- hardware engine required for BCH ECC correction.
-
- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT
- Indicates that NAND device has 16-bit wide data-bus. In absence of this
- config, bus-width of NAND device is assumed to be either 8-bit and later
- determined by reading ONFI params.
- Above config is useful when NAND device's bus-width information cannot
- be determined from on-chip ONFI params, like in following scenarios:
- - SPL boot does not support reading of ONFI parameters. This is done to
- keep SPL code foot-print small.
- - In current U-Boot flow using nand_init(), driver initialization
- happens in board_nand_init() which is called before any device probe
- (nand_scan_ident + nand_scan_tail), thus device's ONFI parameters are
- not available while configuring controller. So a static CONFIG_NAND_xx
- is needed to know the device's bus-width in advance.
- Some drivers using above config are:
- drivers/mtd/nand/mxc_nand.c
- drivers/mtd/nand/ndfc.c
- drivers/mtd/nand/omap_gpmc.c
-
-
Platform specific options
=========================
CONFIG_NAND_OMAP_GPMC
However, for 4K pagesize NAND
NAND_PAGESIZE = 4096
- NAND_OOBSIZE = 64
+ NAND_OOBSIZE = 224
ECC_BYTES = 26
2 + (4096 / 512) * 26 = 210 < NAND_OOBSIZE
Thus BCH16 can be supported on 4K page NAND.
NOTE:
=====
-The current NAND implementation is based on what is in recent
-Linux kernels. The old legacy implementation has been removed.
-
-If you have board code which used CONFIG_NAND_LEGACY, you'll need
-to convert to the current NAND interface for it to continue to work.
-
The Disk On Chip driver is currently broken and has been for some time.

DANGEROUS!!! Factory set bad blocks will be lost. Use only
to remove artificial bad blocks created with the "markbad" command.

in order to program or update safely firmware to NAND, especially for the UBI
part of such firmware.
