[U-Boot] hi,guys,about the nand flash driver
hi: i am going to port uboot1.1.6 nand flash driver to my arm926ejs board.use /drivers/nand/nand.c. not nand_legacy.c . out cpu chip has a nand flash controller,the program flow is as below: 1、set address to controller's register 2、set command to controller's register 3、write controller's special register,so that the 2 steps above can execute. 4、wait for the steps above to be completed ,through another register. 5、now program the data. the problem is; i don't konw how to set struct nand_chip's func point because of the nand controller: xxx_hwcontrol(): the ale,cle cannot be controlled by program. IO_ADDRW:what's it? now i think i just need to write the fllowing functions: wirtebyte,readbyte,writebuf,readbuf, can anyone tell me if i am right? or give me some advise? thank you.
Dear lanmanck,

Forget it. U-Boot 1.1.6 is dead and buried and totally unsupported.
Please use recent code (top of tree or at minimum the latest release = v2009.03) for recent development.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk

As Wolfgang pointed out, that is very old. Please use current code.

That will not be sufficient. If your NAND controller does not fit in the cmd_ctrl model, then you'll have to override higher level functions such as cmdfunc -- see drivers/mtd/nand/fsl_elbc.c for an example.
Alternatively, you may want to override the higher level functions that call cmdfunc.

hi scott: thank you for replying. because i am not familiar with the framework of uboot's nand driver ,do you think i should read all of the source code about the nand driver? BTW,i have not found the diretory "drivers/mtd/nand/fsl_elbc.c",is it the latest version? best regards.

the u-boot 1.1.6 don't have fsl_elb.c. as Wolfgang said:

I also have a u-boot 1.1.6, it's work with Pi (ingenic CPU device) now I am try to move to u-boot V2009.03. :-)

That's always helpful. :-)

Sorry, I meant drivers/mtd/nand/fsl_elbc_nand.c.
