There are indeed other implentations around using a common flash file for Zoom1 and Zoom2 boards. I didn't know of this specific implementation by Vimal Singh, but we use something very similar internally. Since linux-omap didn't had any MTD partitions definitions for either boards, I decided to go for the smallest change: only partitions for Zoom2. > Please discuss and get a converged approach on handling NAND > partitions on Zoom1 and Zoom2. Agreed. We should use a common file for Zoom1 and Zoom2 flash, with Zoom2 specific partition sizes. But I'm not sure I deserve the right to propose Vimal Singh's patch (by the way, why hasn't it been merged in the linux-omap tree?). How should we proceed then? > Also the Systerm/User/Cache partition definitions are more from Android > perspective. > > Given that each system may have a different NAND partition requirement, > have you looked at bootargs passing the MTD partition info: Eg: > > mtdparts=omap2-nand.0:5...@0(xloader),\ > 15...@512k(bootloader),\ > 2...@2m(kernel),\ > 1...@32m(system),\ > 3...@192m(userdata),\ > 3...@224m(cache) Yes, I am aware of the mtdparts command line arguments, which works great. I think a "default", sensible partition layout for the Zoom2 would be nice though. - Maxime -- Maxime Petazzoni Linux kernel & software dev MontaVista Software, Inc
