Steve, 



Thanks for the reply. I have solved ECC issue same way. I was using linux 
kernel 2.6.18. Anyways the major problem starts now. 



I tried to mount mtd partitions mtd3 and mtd4 from the linux prompt. I verified 
the size of mounted partition. mtd3 partition shows ~500MB and for mtd4 its 
1.5G. When I copied more than 500 MB data (~650MB) on mtd4 partition and next 
time when I booted the board it was not booting. I think the UBL/UBoot 
partitions were overwritten. 



Again I flashed the UBL/UBoot and the board is booting without any problem. 
Have you ever experienced this? 





Regards, 

Krunal

Krunal, 

What version kernel are you using?  One thing to note is that the Chip ID of 
0xd3 can actually correspond to several layouts of the NAND.  The kernel seems 
to read the proper info and adjust accordingly but U-boot may not.  If you are 
using 2.6.10, you will need to go through and increase several of the arrays 
because they do not handle the larger layout (4224 bytes) and will overflow and 
cause ECC errors or even lockups.  If you are using 2.6.18, you will also want 
to either turn off the "use standard layout" option under the kernel config 
(Drivers-MTD-Nand, somewhere below that) OR you will want to make sure U-boot 
is using the larger layout. 

I have seen the exact error you seen and fixed it by changing the array sizes 
and disabling the Davinci use standard layout option.  This puts newer kernels 
back to the 4-bit ECC as opposed to Software ECC.  Some versions of the kernel 
may have broken HW-ECC though.

Thanks for the pointers Jon. 

I will try your suggestions and get back with the results.

u-boot can read, write and erase NAND ; you could erase and write a page on one 
chip and see if it shows up on the other.

Well, this should not happen:

And the kernel should find the BBTs , it should agree with U-boot. 

I suggest trying a more recent version of u-boot if that's an option.

I find OpenOCD useful, it's JTAG software with davinci NAND drivers for both 
large page layouts, and config files for many davinci boards. 

If you do that, build the latest version from git, there have been some 
important patches to davinci NAND handling since the last released version 
0.4.0. 

The source code for the OpenOCD davinci NAND driver should help you understand 
the layout differences. 

Also, I think there is some related stuff in the silicon errata for DM365.
