Subject: Why is PEB not erased before writing???
Date: Tue, 20 Feb 2007 12:07:22 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <6b5362aa0702192237o69e7efe9wf5844bfaff91e2ff@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I tried to overwrite same block.
Ubi should call erase before overwriting the data block.But it didn't.
UBI simply wrote the block again.That will write garbage for a flash.
So who will call erase??Is it the application's responsibility to call
erase before writing at same  location???

I am stuck here because my concept was,
ubi will check if we are re-writing the same PEB.
If yes,UBI will erase the block and then write the same block.

Regards,
BRIJESH
