Hi,

Does the UBI depend on the bad block table(BBT) built by MTD?
In otherwords, can the complete chip scan during chip probe be avoided
by enabling/setting NAND_SKIP_BBTSCAN in chip->options?

Does UBI built BBT independent of the MTD built BBT?

Regards,
Sudeep

Yes, it asks MTD if blocks are bad or not.

No, UBI relies on MTD in this. MTD supports on-flash BBT tables, so if
you do not want MTD level to do full chip scan you should use on-flash
BBT.

No, it relies on MTD.
