Hi!
I am working on BeagleBone variant board using Ångström distribution. Main difference is that NAND flash is installed on board. In fact my set-up sounds pretty much same as in "NAND flash with BeagleBone variant<https://groups.google.com/forum/embed/?place=forum/beagleboard&showsearch=true&showpopout=true&showtabs=true&hideforumtitle=true&parenturl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.beagleboard.org%2FCommunity%2FForums#!searchin/beagleboard/nand/beagleboard/Gbtg8xZ_TNY/0QL5Q01PlbQJ>" case. *Short story:* UBIFS partition/volume formatted/created in Linux does not work in U-Boot. UBI part command in U-boot fails. Later on Linux finds this UBIFS corrupted. I don't have any problems if this UBIFS is accessed purely from Linux. I have made NAND flash additions from am335x-evm.dts to BeagleBone device tree. I have tried with ti,nand-ecc-opt = "bch8" (with kernel options CONFIG_MTD_NAND_OMAP_BCH and OMAP_ECC_BCH8_CODE_HW) and without. In the latter case those kernel options were not active. *Longer story* = operations and results: ====================================== BOOT => Linux root@beaglebone:~# cat /proc/mtd ddev: size erasesize name mtd0: 00020000 00020000 "SPL1" mtd1: 00020000 00020000 "SPL2" mtd2: 00020000 00020000 "SPL3" mtd3: 00020000 00020000 "SPL4" mtd4: 001e0000 00020000 "U-boot" mtd5: 00020000 00020000 "environment" mtd6: 00500000 00020000 "Kernel" mtd7: 0f880000 00020000 "File-System" root@beaglebone:~# mtdinfo /dev/mtd7 mtd7 Name: File-System Type: nand Eraseblock size: 131072 bytes, 128.0 KiB Amount of eraseblocks: 1988 (260571136 bytes, 248.5 MiB) Minimum input/output unit size: 2048 bytes Sub-page size: 512 bytes OOB size: 64 bytes Character device major/minor: 90:14 Bad blocks are allowed: true Device is writable: true root@beaglebone:~# ubiformat /dev/mtd7 ubiformat: mtd7 (nand), size 260571136 bytes (248.5 MiB), 1988 eraseblocks of 131072 bytes (128.0 KiB), min.
