Hello,

We've got a board based on the CDB89712 but using C3 (TE28F320/C3BC90) in
stead of the B3 version. The C3 chip locks all blocks on chip reset. I've
patched the bootloader (hermit) to unlock all blocks on boot.
I've got MTD/JFFS2 working on the board, with the bootloader patch, but I
think MTD should unlock the blocks.
I'm not familiar with the MTD architecture, so I don't no how/where to
implement this, can You help me to point this out ?

Thanks,

Jeroen Roose

There is code to do that, usually the command is just
unlock /dev/mtd0

Unless the unlock needs to happen at mount time trace the unlock command.

MTD can unlock Intel C3 flash, but the code is incomplete. Please look at
drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0001.c
