[U-Boot] [PATCH] test: dfu: script: wrong md5sum on nand partitions

when uplaoding a file, at least from a nand partition, the complete mtd nand partition size is transferred. This leads in a wrong md5sum as the filesize is different between the downloaded file and the uploaded file. Limit the uploaded filesize to the downloaded fixes this.

Tested this on the siemens boards, with current ml I get:

with this patch:

I was going to say that it'd be better to fix U-Boot's NAND code to transfer the correct amount of data. However, I suppose the correct amount *is* the whole partition for anything other than a filesystem file. As such, I'd suggest replacing "nand" in the patch description with something else, since presumably the exact same issue applies to partitions on eMMC. The issue applies to any partition.
I wonder if there's a way to distinguish between file tests and partition tests in dfu_gadget_test.sh, so that the $N_FILE_FULL -> $N_FILE conversion can be applied only for partitions. Otherwise, a file upload/download test could end up changing (increasing) the file length and this bug wouldn't be detected.

Yes, you are right.

Lukasz could better comment on this ... currently filesize is changed on a raw partition, as the test download for example 960 bytes, and reads back the hole partition size ... which leads in a wrong md5sum.
It would be good to have in the DFU protcol a length parameter ... so a device could at transfer start decide, if the filesize fits into the partition, if not, no need to tranfser the hole file, and detect this error at the end (with a broken partition now) ...

Yes, you are right.
It is the case with testing "raw"/"partition" write.
With NAND the procedure is as follows: 1. Erase NAND (0xFF on the whole partition) 2. Store the new partition (very rarely the partition.img == NAND partition size). Very often partition.img < NAND partition. 3. The NAND code reads the whole partition (including the 0xFF padding).
This padding causes md5sum to be wrong.

Yes, the lack of "size" parameter is very inconvenient (for example we must then allocate bigger buffers than needed).
However, for testing purposes we can introduce new test file name "part_<file_size>.img" - e.g. part_32M.img. Then this would indicate the test for the whole partition.
The legacy dat_<file_size>.img (e.g. dat_960.img) would be truncated if needed in the script.
This is a quick solution.
Other thoughts:
1. In the dfu-util repo there is the dfu-prefix tool. It allows generating some special prefix for LPC and TI Stellaris SoCs. Maybe we could think about "u-boot" prefix and put there for example binary size and signature data.
2. The dfu-util 0.7 on the HOST when -l is typed shows the name="" and serial="". If it was possible to add serial, then we could extend dfu-util to show size of the alt setting.
In this way we could always perform truncation on the uploaded file in the host.

Yes ... I do not prefer this solution. Why not cutting the readden file to the length we transferred? Or fill the original file with 0xff until we reached the filesize we read from the device?

I think that the truncation of the received file is acceptable. If we were about to test partition write, then we could prepare images with the size equal to the partition size.
Or fill the original file with 0xff until we reached the filesize we read from the device?

This is strange. Could you checkout and build following dfu-util version:
Repository: dfu-util-repo git://gitorious.org/dfu-util/dfu-util.git
SHA1: dc15eefbb8f928aed932fa1e8daa341e34d0b096
With exynos I see the serial="" output.
But if we could add here a "size", that would be a good thing to have, so we coud at least read the size, and if our image fits not in it, break the transfer, before starting it ...
and for the test script, we could read the size, and create a file, which fits into the partition ...
In this way we could always perform truncation on the uploaded file in the host.

Keep in mind that the exact partition size can vary, even for the same board, due to bad blocks.
