It is still in development, here you can check latest branch https://github.com/bbrezillon/linux-sunxi/commits/sunxi-nand-pre-v4-fixed Be prepared to see bugs, like ubifs dying after a reboot and badblocks appearing out of nowhere (false positive ones, of course). Also OOB structure is completely incompatible with old sunxi_nand OOB and you will need to #flash_erase /dev/mtdX 0 0 -N at least once with a special kernel patch (not included in the branch above), otherwise, new mtd driver will detect all blocks marked as bad. I'm adding Boris to CC, talk to him if you want to discuss/test mainline driver. I think it is matter of couple more testing iterations to get it finally working. > If there is interest to fix sunxi_nand, I may have a look at the required > changes... There is (android users), but right now for a system not related to multimedia, you can run mainline just fine, so there is more interest in having a proper mainlined mtd driver, than sunxi_nand. Anyway, if you have tested patches for sunxi_nand, feel free to send them here. > -- > > Arnd Gronenberg, [email protected], DJ9PZ / AB2QP Best Regards, Dmitriy Beykun -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "linux-sunxi" group.
