Hi guys,

 

Here's what I did up to now:

 

* Integrated latest MTD in my 2.6.17 linux

* Wrote a NAND device driver from scratch for our large page NAND.

 

This looks ok as far as I can tell (bus activity is what it should be
according to data book)

I can do nandwrite/nanddump and I have consistent stuff, I can even build
yaffs with the yaffs-for-latest-mtd patch posted by Vitali but I still have
problems sometimes 

 

(writing a file sometimes results in a complaint about chunk not being
erased and the resulting file will have invalid checksum)

 

In the following trace, I flash_erase, mount, copy a file and unmount a
partition, the write has trouble with 2 chunks and the resulting file is
invalid (bad checksum).  Sometimes, doing the exact same operation will
result in a valid file.

 

I am also worried about the tags values listed in the unmount block.

 

I should say that as of now, my low level driver does not pass any
information about OOB to the MTD. Should my low level driver tells MTD how
to handle OOB? I'm lost guys, if one of you can point me in the right
direction that would be greatly appreciated.
