DOC Mill Plus 32M What next?

[Carlos, John J USAATC]

Hello all,

  On my arm core board there is a DOC Plus 32M.  When I use the DOC2001Plus
driver I can probe the chip "docprobe".  The chip is reported in the proc
file system.
# cat /proc/mtd
dev:    size   erasesize  name
mtd0: 00020000 00010000 "BootLoader"
mtd1: 00040000 00010000 "Params"
mtd2: 00200000 00010000 "Kernel"
mtd3: 001a0000 00010000 "Flash0 FileSys"
mtd4: 02000000 00008000 "DiskOnChip Millennium Plus"

What tools can I use on the chip to prepare it for use??  Nftl_format
reports wrong erase size of 0x10000?  I have read others postings and I am
not sure if I should be using nftl_format anyway?  Can soemone please tell
me the proper procedure to prep the chip for a jffs2 file system???

Thanks for the help!
John

Use the DOS tools if you can. Or look on SnapGear's web site to see if
you can find an 'inftl_format' tool.

I keep an nftl_format in the uClinux-dist code base that is capable
of formating INFTL as well.

Get the whole package and use uClinux-dist/user/mtd-utils/nftl_format.c

http://www.uclinux.org/pub/uClinux/dist/

Or just pull it from CVS at:

http://cvs.uclinux.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/uClinux-dist/user/mtd-utils/nftl_format.c

It doesn't currently support erase sizes of 0x10000 either though...

Regards
Greg
