Hi all:

I got a problem with the Nand driver in MV linux on DaVinci EVM,
I want the MV linux to mount root filesystem on Nand Flash, rootfstype is 
jffs2,
What I did is :

1 modify linux/drivers/mtd/nand/nand_davinci.c ,create Nand partitions:
Creating 4 MTD partitions on "nand_davinci.0":
0x00000000-0x00044000 : "Bootloaders"
0x00044000-0x00404000 : "Kernel"
0x00404000-0x02000000 : "RootFS"
0x02000000-0x04000000 : "Reserve"

2 boot linux kernel with ramdisk.

3 use flash_eraseall and nandwrite mtd utils:
#flash_eraseall -j /dev/mtd2
#nandwrite -p -j /dev/mtd2 nandrootfs.jffs2
where nandrootfs.jffs2 is an jffs2 filesystem image.

4 boot an new kernel with bootargs:
...root=/dev/mtdblock2 rw rootfstype=jffs2 noinitrd ...

5 it outpus:
...........
NAND device: Manufacturer ID: 0xec, Chip ID: 0x36 (Samsung NAND 64MiB 1,8V 
8-bit)
Scanning device for bad blocks
Bad eraseblock 257 at 0x00404000
Bad eraseblock 258 at 0x00408000
Bad eraseblock 259 at 0x0040c000
Bad eraseblock 260 at 0x00410000
Bad eraseblock 261 at 0x00414000
........................
(about 50 bad eraseblocks)

Note that The output changes!! (same kernel)

Can somebody help me? Thanks in advance!

I guess linux/drivers/mtd/nand/nand_davinci.c contain some small bugs.


best regards!
