27 Print a list of all of the bad blocks in the current device.
30 Print information about the current NAND device.
33 Make device `num' the current device and print information about it.
36 nand erase clean [off size]
37 Erase `size' bytes starting at offset `off'. Only complete erase
40 If `clean' is specified, a JFFS2-style clean marker is written to
41 each block after it is erased. If `clean' is specified without an
42 offset or size, the entire flash is erased.
44 This command will not erase blocks that are marked bad. There is
45 a debug option in cmd_nand.c to allow bad blocks to be erased.
46 Please read the warning there before using it, as blocks marked
47 bad by the manufacturer must _NEVER_ be erased.
50 Print information about all of the NAND devices found.
52 nand read addr ofs size
53 Read `size' bytes from `ofs' in NAND flash to `addr'. If a page
54 cannot be read because it is marked bad or an uncorrectable data
55 error is found the command stops with an error.
57 nand read.jffs2 addr ofs size
58 Like `read', but the data for blocks that are marked bad is read as
59 0xff. This gives a readable JFFS2 image that can be processed by
60 the JFFS2 commands such as ls and fsload.
62 nand read.oob addr ofs size
63 Read `size' bytes from the out-of-band data area corresponding to
64 `ofs' in NAND flash to `addr'. This is limited to the 16 bytes of
65 data for one 512-byte page or 2 256-byte pages. There is no check
66 for bad blocks or ECC errors.
68 nand write addr ofs size
69 Write `size' bytes from `addr' to `ofs' in NAND flash. If a page
70 cannot be written because it is marked bad or the write fails the
71 command stops with an error.
73 nand write.jffs2 addr ofs size
74 Like `write', but blocks that are marked bad are skipped and the
75 is written to the next block instead. This allows writing writing
76 a JFFS2 image, as long as the image is short enough to fit even
77 after skipping the bad blocks. Compact images, such as those
78 produced by mkfs.jffs2 should work well, but loading an image copied
79 from another flash is going to be trouble if there are any bad blocks.
81 nand write.oob addr ofs size
82 Write `size' bytes from `addr' to the out-of-band data area
83 corresponding to `ofs' in NAND flash. This is limited to the 16 bytes
84 of data for one 512-byte page or 2 256-byte pages. There is no check
87 Configuration Options:
90 A good one to add to CONFIG_COMMANDS since it enables NAND support.
92 CONFIG_MTD_NAND_ECC_JFFS2
93 Define this if you want the Error Correction Code information in
94 the out-of-band data to be formatted to match the JFFS2 file system.
95 CONFIG_MTD_NAND_ECC_YAFFS would be another useful choice for
99 The maximum number of NAND devices you want to support.
103 #define NAND_WAIT_READY(nand)
104 Wait until the NAND flash is ready. Typically this would be a
105 loop waiting for the READY/BUSY line from the flash to indicate it
108 #define WRITE_NAND_COMMAND(d, adr)
109 Write the command byte `d' to the flash at `adr' with the
110 CLE (command latch enable) line true. If your board uses writes to
111 different addresses to control CLE and ALE, you can modify `adr'
112 to be the appropriate address here. If your board uses I/O registers
113 to control them, it is probably better to let NAND_CTL_SETCLE()
116 #define WRITE_NAND_ADDRESS(d, adr)
117 Write the address byte `d' to the flash at `adr' with the
118 ALE (address latch enable) line true. If your board uses writes to
119 different addresses to control CLE and ALE, you can modify `adr'
120 to be the appropriate address here. If your board uses I/O registers
121 to control them, it is probably better to let NAND_CTL_SETALE()
124 #define WRITE_NAND(d, adr)
125 Write the data byte `d' to the flash at `adr' with the
126 ALE and CLE lines false. If your board uses writes to
127 different addresses to control CLE and ALE, you can modify `adr'
128 to be the appropriate address here. If your board uses I/O registers
129 to control them, it is probably better to let NAND_CTL_CLRALE()
132 #define READ_NAND(adr)
133 Read a data byte from the flash at `adr' with the
134 ALE and CLE lines false. If your board uses reads from
135 different addresses to control CLE and ALE, you can modify `adr'
136 to be the appropriate address here. If your board uses I/O registers
137 to control them, it is probably better to let NAND_CTL_CLRALE()
140 #define NAND_DISABLE_CE(nand)
141 Set CE (Chip Enable) low to enable the NAND flash.
143 #define NAND_ENABLE_CE(nand)
144 Set CE (Chip Enable) high to disable the NAND flash.
146 #define NAND_CTL_CLRALE(nandptr)
147 Set ALE (address latch enable) low. If ALE control is handled by
148 WRITE_NAND_ADDRESS() this can be empty.
150 #define NAND_CTL_SETALE(nandptr)
151 Set ALE (address latch enable) high. If ALE control is handled by
152 WRITE_NAND_ADDRESS() this can be empty.
154 #define NAND_CTL_CLRCLE(nandptr)
155 Set CLE (command latch enable) low. If CLE control is handled by
156 WRITE_NAND_ADDRESS() this can be empty.
158 #define NAND_CTL_SETCLE(nandptr)
159 Set CLE (command latch enable) high. If CLE control is handled by
160 WRITE_NAND_ADDRESS() this can be empty.
164 These definitions are needed in the board configuration for now, but
165 may really belong in a header file.
166 TODO: Figure which ones are truly configuration settings and rename
167 them to CFG_NAND_... and move the rest somewhere appropriate.
