NAK.
:-(
CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZEDfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to theraw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this bufferconfigurable.- CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE When updating files rather than the raw storage device, we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
The point of the buffer being configurable is to allow for larger files, right? We need to fix CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE so that..
In current code CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE is not used in dfu_nand.c, as if buffer is full, it is immediately flushed to nand. Also default value from CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE is smaller (4MiB) as default value of CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE (8MiB) ...
I used on my upcoming board port a CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE from 1MiB and that worked perfectly, when transferring a file > 200MB. The default value from 8MiB sometimes caused an error on the host:
[]# date;dfu-util -a rootfs -D dxr2-org/dxr2.xx-release-image-UNKNOWN-dxr2.ubi;date Di 28. Mai 14:20:44 CEST 2013 dfu-util 0.5 [...] Copying data from PC to DFU device Starting download: [#############################################dfu_download: libusb_control_transfer returned -7 Error during download
Why we have a buffersize from 8MiB for raw writes, but a max file size from 4MiB only?
-#define DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE (1024*1024*8) /* 8 MiB */ +#ifndef CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE +#define CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE (1024*1024*8) /* 8 MiB */ +#endif #ifndef CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE #define CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE (4 << 20) /* 4 MiB */ #endif
We use one variable for both spots. Or is there some case I'm missing where we need to buffer 8MiB at a time for raw writes? In which case we still need to make CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE be used :)
I do not really know, why we have 2 defines here!
