Hello folks,
I have a custom i.mx53 board with NAND Flash connected using the i.mx53 NAND flash controller. I have been trying to the flash working in U-boot with no success. I was looking at the driver mtd/nand/mxc_nand.c which I thought would work, but it seems that it only supports the older NFC versions found in the mx25, mx27, and mx35.
Is there a working driver available for the NFC in the mx5 processors? If not, do you think it would be easier for me to try and patch the mxc_nand driver to support the newer NFC or to try and port the imx_nand driver from the Linux kernel?
Best regards,
Mark Roy
