Not a diff but 1) in Linux 2.4.32, I have the following files : Config.in diskonchip.c nand_bbt.c rtc_from4.c tx4925ndfmc.c Makefile edb7312.c nand_ecc.c s3c2410.c tx4938ndfmc.c Makefile.common h1910.c nand_ids.c sharpsl.c* au1550nd.c nand.c nandsim.c spia.c autcpu12.c nand_base.c ppchameleonevb.c toto.c $Id: nand_ids.c,v 1.12 2005/02/16 09:33:27 gleixner Exp $ 2) in Linux 2.4.32, I just have the following files : autcpu12.c edb7312.c nand.c nand_ids.c Config.in Makefile nand_ecc.c spia.c with a very old nand_ids.c. $Id: nand_ids.c,v 1.1 2002/12/02 22:06:04 gleixner Exp $ > > On www.linux-mtd.infradead.org, it seems that Linux 2.4 is no more supported. > Well, 2.4 is supported but no new features go in that tree.

Yes, I saw that many things have changed and are not be easily backported. I checked the MTD CVS. All that I found are in the Linux kernel 2.4.31 or 2.6.x. > -----Message d'origine----- > De : Jaap-Jan Boor > Take a look at the 2.4 http://www.denx.de kernel, it has NAND > and jffs2 support. Thanks but, I retreived the same files than in the other kernels. Thanks again for your ideas I will see what I can do Bye Laurent
