Hi!
I'm trying to enable the UBI-support in U-Boot (later intending to
also enable the UBIFS-support). This is on a AT91SAM9260-based system.
I've verified the same behaviour using both the
at91sam9260ek_nandflash_config and a forward-ported patch for the
Olimex sam9_l9260 board. Currently I'm concentrating on the
at91sam9260ek_nandflash_config, as this one is in the U-Boot
repository.
However, once I enable the UBI-support, the nand-flash chip is not detected...
I've tried to trace the problem, and I've found that it is
timer-related. It seems that once I enable CONFIG_CMD_UBI, the timer
does not work (the debug-printf in the get_ticks()-function in the
supplied patch is not printing). If I comment out CONFIG_CMD_UBI,
U-Boot continously prints stuff like:
Debug: timestamp=6
Debug: timestamp=10215
Debug: timestamp=21556
which is expected.
I'm compiling by running:
make clean
make at91sam9260ek_nandflash_config
make
and then flashing u-boot.bin to the board.
The supplied patch works, unless the '#define CONFIG_CMD_UBI 1'
is uncommented, in which case the get_ticks function in
cpu/arm926ejs/at91/timer.c never seems to be called. I've sofar been
unable to understand why.
The U-Boot versions used are from the u-boot.git and u-boot-at91.git
repositories, as check out yesterday and today:
U-Boot, with the latest commit 5520ab1f7685721314dcfb7cdcc7c15e6571473f
U-Boot-at91, with the latest commit f8ddcd58221cab63dd25c2324dd2032487f748b1
I've also verifed the same behaviour with both the CodeSourcery's
toolchain (Sourcery G++ Lite 2008q1-126, gcc 4.2.3), as well as my own
build through buildroot (gcc 4.3.3).
Regards,
Anders
