Subject: how to support 4096+224 page size with plat_nand ?
Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2012 15:05:03 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <201203161505.03858.brian.foster@maxim-ic.com> (raw)
Timothy,
We have also used 4K + 224 NAND (not sure if the
same part or not) with ‘plat_nand’ (and also with
our own driver which uses our chip's ECC engine),
in a v2.6.36-based Linux kernel. (The kernel's
version _may_ be important, since I _think_ some
later kernels directly support 224 (and 218 and
maybe 256) OOB sizes; and/or correctly detecting
the eraseblock size.)
We didn't bother using the full 224-byts of OOB,
but instaed are treating the device as having
only 128-bytes of OOB. Works fine, albeit we
did have to add the part to the nand_flash_ids[]
table since the eraseblock size wasn't correctly
detected.
cheers!
