[beagleboard] uboot/drivers/mtd/nand: how to enable on-die-ecc on a flash chip / how to send command to flash chip

2014-02-04 Thread star
Can someone please give me a hint howto send a command to a flash chip, in 
my case to enable on-die-ecc?

I found at some place how to read the byte, but I don't understand how to 
modify it for write (chip->write_byte isn't the way):


* ## */
/* MICRON: Test on-die ECC status; return: 1/On or 0/Off */
int test_on_die_ecc(struct mtd_info *mtd)
{
struct nand_chip *chip = mtd->priv;
int addr = 0x90;
uint8_t data, data_;
chip->cmdfunc(mtd,NAND_CMD_GET_FEATURES,addr,-1);
ndelay(2000);
data = chip->read_byte(mtd);
return((data & 0x08) ? 1 : 0 );
}


---
Can you help me what do I have to do send this below?

ECC can be enabled using the following sequence:
EFh(cmd)-90h(addr)-08h(data)-00h(data)-00h(data)-00h(data)-wait(tFEAT).

ECC can be disabled using the following sequence:
EFh(cmd)-90h(addr)-00h(data)-00h(data)-00h(data)-00h(data)-wait(tFEAT).

I could solve it on my own. :)

int set_on_die_ecc(struct mtd_info *mtd)
{
struct nand_chip *chip = mtd->priv;
int addr = 0x90;
uint8_t buf[8] = {8,0,0,0,0,0,0,0};
chip->cmdfunc(mtd,NAND_CMD_SET_FEATURES,addr,-1);
ndelay(1000);

I see that some function definitions are missing in your code. Can you

Especially the functions like gpio_to_irq() ...

2014-09-09 Thread neo star
Hi Brandon 

I read through the link, very informative thanks.I can create a thread to 
do the polling and signal me when its ready.
But how to really write an ISR in arm. I see a lot of guides but they say 
that it will work in Intel processors but they are not sure about ARM.
For sure from my readings i see that i need a kernel object to handle an 
ISR, But how to really do that.
One example about how to handle interrupts is in 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15245626/simple-interrupt-handler-request-irq-returns-error-code-22
The other one is request_threaded_irq() as mentioned by Kavita in the above 
post.
Is there any How to and guide to writing one. Any links.
Thanks.

 There's nothing pseudo about it. Again, any usual way to have a
 userspace application respond to an interrupt will be the exact same. The
 kernel will block the userspace process until the interrupt is seen. The
 only real alternative is burning up the cpu with memory polling, which
 appears to be what the BBIOlib method uses. So, your latency is limited to
 your poll speed (which can be faster than interrupts). But, if you have a
 constant poll for minimum latency, lets hope you're not trying to do
 something important elsewhere since your cpu usage will be at 100%, and
 you'll be maximizing process to process context switching!

So for my understanding https://github.com/beagleboard/linux is the
location of kernel used in BBB

and

3.8 (current stable)
https://github.com/RobertCNelson/linux-stable-rcn-ee/compare/v3.8.13...3.8.13-bone66

3.14 (next stable)
https://github.com/RobertCNelson/linux-stable-rcn-ee/compare/v3.14.19...3.14.19-ti-r25

contains patches still not in the main line kernel AKA development branch.
