Scott, whats the current status? Has this support now been included to Linux meanwhile? How should we continue here? Do you plan on resubmitting patches for FSL NAND support? Please keep in mind that we still plan to switch to the new U-Boot NAND subsystem rewrite done a few months ago, based on the Linux 2.6.22 MTD sources.
I recently got the Linux version of the driver merged; the newer Linux NAND subsystem code doesn't need all of the previous patches I sent for u-boot, though if you're basing off of 2.6.22 you'll need a couple patches that went in more recently than that (78b65179 Don't panic... and 1c45f604 Fix misparenthesization...).
Patches welcome. :)
What's about the current state of NAND-Flash Support for MPC831x in U-Boot using the FCM concerning:
- Read/Write/Erase Access
I'll try to get a new patch for this out soon.
Thanks.
- Booting from NAND
There's an un-cleaned-up patch from the BSP sitting around on my hard disk... It's a rather intrusive patch (mostly due to the need to get RAM going with only 4K of code), so it'll need some looking over before I submit.
Please try to integrate such NAND booting stuff into the already existing nand_spl framework.
Best regards, Stefan
