Hello Scott,
I currently tried current U-Boot HEAD
commit fedab338f3459315cb69627fcf46032ec8df1753 Merge: 74b5b5d f6b690e Author: Wolfgang Denk wd@denx.de Date: Thu Jun 7 23:42:17 2012 +0200
Merge branch 'master' of git://git.denx.de/u-boot-video
on the twister board, and detected that a "run update" fails with:
twister => run update SW ECC selected
NAND erase: device 0 offset 0x80000, size 0x100000 Erasing at 0x160000 -- 100% complete. OK
NAND write: (board hangs ...)
Environment var: update=nandecc sw;nand erase ${uboot_addr} 100000;nand write ${loadaddr} ${uboot_addr} 80000
So I started "git bisection":
[hs@pollux u-boot]$ git bisect start [hs@pollux u-boot]$ git bisect bad [hs@pollux u-boot]$ git bisect good 415d386877df49eb051b85ef74fa59a16dc17c7d Bisecting: 211 revisions left to test after this (roughly 8 steps) [...] [hs@pollux u-boot]$ git bisect bad 418396e212b59bf907dbccad997ff50f7eb61b16 is the first bad commit commit 418396e212b59bf907dbccad997ff50f7eb61b16 Author: Scott Wood scottwood@freescale.com Date: Fri Mar 2 14:01:57 2012 -0600
nand: extend .raw accesses to work on multiple pages
A use for this is to read, modify, erase, and write an entire block as a single unit, as a replacement for the biterr command. This way gives more flexibility in that you can also test multiple bit errors, errors in the ECC, etc.

following patch helps:
diff --git a/common/cmd_nand.c b/common/cmd_nand.c index fa44295..edeb093 100644 --- a/common/cmd_nand.c +++ b/common/cmd_nand.c @@ -617,7 +617,7 @@ int do_nand(cmd_tbl_t * cmdtp, int flag, int argc, char * const argv[])
s = strchr(cmd, '.');
- if (!strcmp(s, ".raw")) { + if ((s != NULL) && (!strcmp(s, ".raw"))) { raw = 1;
if (arg_off(argv[3], &dev, &off, &size))
What do you think? Is this a correct fix, and I should sent this as a real patch, or did I overlook something?
bye, Heiko
