Dirk and Ivan, Being a newbie to linux and u-boot, and having discovered, actually been directed to this list, belatedly, I am sure I have not done things in the most efficient method. I started with u-boot-1.1.3. After a lot of thrashing, I am now able to write the UBL and U-boot to nand flash using the HW_ECC and at this point I use software ECC for everything else. I am able to flash the kernel and get it to boot with an nfs mount. I have so far been unable to get a usable filesystem written to nand. I have recompiled the kernel with ATA support off and the NADN flash options set to Verify Nand Page Writes, Nand Flash device on Davinci Soc and Hardware Ecc support. I have tried both NFTL and FTL support both on and off. When I nfs boot from this image, the kernel apparently sees my nand as is evidenced by the following in the bootlog... NAND device: Manufacturer ID: 0xec, Chip ID: 0x36 (Samsung NAND 64MiB 1,8V 8-bit) Scanning device for bad blocks Creating 4 MTD partitions on "nand_davinci.0": 0x00000000-0x00040000 : "bootloader" 0x00040000-0x00060000 : "params" 0x00060000-0x00460000 : "kernel" 0x00460000-0x04000000 : "filesystem" nand_davinci: hardware revision: 2.1
My plan was to try an ftl_format on /dev/mtd3 and then to write the fs using nandwrite... sort of along the lines of spraaa0 However, I don't seem to have either ftl_format or nandwrite available from the kernel. Also if I try doing a mount -l I get a bunch of Buffer I/O errors on the 4 NAND partitions... Any suggestions.
