How to access Freesale UPM NAND device

How to access Freesale UPM NAND device

Hi,

quick question:

I have a custom board running MPC8347 on Linux 2.6.27 with Uboot 1.1.4.
I also have a NAND device (Micron MT29F2G08AACWP) connected to the LBC
and controlled via UPM.

fsl_elbc_nand.ko, fsl_upm.ko are loaded.

I'm wondering how to access the NAND device. Do I need mDOC? TrueFFS?

I have grep'd for the functions declared in fsl_upm.c and fsl_lbc.c and find that no other
code path calls these functions. So it looks like the drivers are loaded but no one calls into
them.

any help appreciated.

thanks
LK

fsl_elbc_nand is for FCM; you only need the latter.

JFFS2 is typically used.

The init function of the module registers a driver, providing function 
pointers that are called.  You access the device through /dev/mtd*.
