I promised you to send update over a weekend, but didn't tell you which one ;-). Although normaly I do not have problems explaining my boss why
I know how this goes. Been there before. Can't remember when for the first time :-(
Patch against "testing-NAND" branch can be found here: ftp://ftp.linux-mips.org/pub/linux/mips/people/ladis/u-boot/u-boot-nand.diff
Can you please either send this by e-mail, or put it on a server that actually works?
It also contains support for new board NetStar (it is not meant to be included - I want to maintain it outside U-Boot, but I'd agree to put it into "testing-NAND" branch for reference), which shows sample
If I add it to "testing-NAND" (and it makes a lot of sense if this is a working example) then it will go more or less automagically into the main tree as soon as I merge branches. Is this acceptable to you?
implementation. Note that you have to define CONFIG_NEW_NAND_CODE to actually compile and use new code. Original <linux/mtd/nand.h> was moved to <linux/mtd/nand_old.h> and so has to be fixed all unconverted boards includes (I do not have energy to do it now and test if they still compiles).
We will have to go through this when switching the code base.
Ideally old and new code should be able to coexist. Please let me know if you
But only one version shall be in the main branch at a time, i. e. one day the new code will replace the old one, and then all boards will need to be converted.
experience any problems or if you want me to split patch into smaller chunks.
Will do when I can lay my hands on the patch; keep getting timeouts only :-(
(*) - needs discussion and improvements, it's not finished.
Thanks for providing a sound base for this discussion.
Best regards,
