Proposed logic for fs-update zeroed blocks optimization

2011-04-19 Thread Daniel Drake
Maybe dependent on the possibility of an extX-specific optimization in the .zd file, this may or may not be relevant, or may be worth doing anyway (on a generic basis): The .zd files currently contain loads of zero blocks, fs-update erases the SD card at the start, most SD cards erase to zeroes. S

Hi Arnd, As you've obviously been working with a large range of SD cards, I wonder if you have any comments/knowledge on erase behaviour. The SD card spec says that CMD32/CMD33 erase can leave the data as either all-zero or all-one, depending on bit 55 (DATA_STAT_AFTER_ERASE) of the SCR. Do you
