[U-Boot] Error in buffer data for NAND flash write, read on OMAP3430SDP.

[U-Boot] Error in buffer data for NAND flash write, read on OMAP3430SDP.

[Radha Krishna]

Hi,

I am using NAND Flash write, read APIs for writing and reading of my data to/from the same block.

[SNIP]
OMAP34XX SDP # nand dua//I created this command
 The manufacturer id = 2c
  device Id = a1
Erasing at 0x180000 -- 101% complete. Cleanmarker written at 0x180000.
 ERASE OK
Writing data at 0x19f000 -- 100% complete.
 WRITE OK
Reading data from 0x19f000 -- 100% complete.
 READ OK
 OMAP34XX SDP #

But when I compare write buffer and read buffer,some of the data is not matching(read data is different from write data).

Could some one tell me the solution for this.

Regards,
Krishna.

Can you give details what this custom command is doing? See below, too.

Can you give complete log and more details of what you are doing, i.e. 
complete output from board boot on? What would be helpful:

- U-Boot version, where do you got it from
- printenv output (showing the native commands for your "nand dua" above).
- Which data you are writing. Can you try it with some dummy data you 
can share here making other people able to test this. Maybe you can 
create some easy test data with mw.w and mm.l commands (e.g. writing 
all zero's or some other dummy data)
- How do you compare the data
- Other useful info

Many thanks

Dirk

Hi Dirk,

Thanks for the response.

Here are the details

nand dua ...this commad is simple and executes nand erase,nand write and nand read APIs. Write data and read data are like 1,2,3,4,5....131072.

For comparing byte by byte data, using two buffers write_buffer, read_buffer both are of size 131072.

U-boot version:
U-Boot uses a 3 level version number containing a version, a
sub-version, and a patchlevel: "U-Boot-2.34.5" means version "2",
sub-version "34", and patchlevel "4".

I got the U-boot from the URL:
https://omapzoom.org/gf/project/bootloader/frs/

Please let me know for any other information.

Thanks,
krishna.

I think you are with a really old U-Boot if the above is the place you
picked it from! if you look up the boot message it probably should be
1.1.5 or something of that revision. You can find the old revision in
[1]. We are attempting to merge in patches to the very latest 1.5
release which still does not have SDP3430 support (but can be done with
a little effort). You can see this new community initiative for a
mainstream OMAP3 U-Boot in [2] - but note, it is still a work in
progress and yet to be accepted in the mainline tree (But I guess we are
getting pretty close to it now)..

One more minor item of interest - for the u-boot
pulled from omapzoom.org, you may be interested in contacting either [1]
or [2].
