Hello!

I have a device which has a 256MB SLC NAND flash for storage. It uses a redundant pair of 64MB UBI partitions. Then it has 108MB of completely unused non-partitioned space at the end of the NAND.

I would like to combine these partitions so that I can use the combined 236MB of NAND space.

Any suggestions on how I should do that?Are there any existing examples of devices which do anything similar?



Basically I want to RAID0 these things.

One of the 64MB partitions is non-continuous with the other two. The other 64MB partition is right in front of the remaining unused/unpartitioned area, so we could just combine them in the DTS or similar.

Here is what the partition table actually looks like:

No.: Name Attributes Start Size ; REAL-ORDER 0: 0:SBL1 0x0000ffff 0x0 0x40000 256KB ; 1 1: 0:MIBIB 0x0000ffff 0x40000 0x140000 1.4MB ; 2 2: 0:SBL2 0x0000ffff 0x180000 0x140000 1.4MB ; 3 3: 0:SBL3 0x0000ffff 0x2c0000 0x280000 2.4MB ; 4 4: 0:DDRCONFIG 0x0000ffff 0x540000 0x120000 1.2MB ; 5 5: 0:SSD 0x0000ffff 0x660000 0x120000 1.2MB ; 6 6: 0:TZ 0x0000ffff 0x780000 0x280000 2.4MB ; 7 7: 0:RPM 0x0000ffff 0xa00000 0x280000 2.4MB ; 8 8: 0:APPSBL 0x0000ffff 0x53a0000 0x500000 5.2MB ; 14 9: 0:APPSBLENV 0x0000ffff 0x1180000 0x80000 512KB ; 10 10: 0:ART 0x0000ffff 0x1200000 0x140000 1.4MB ; 11 11: rootfs 0x0000ffff 0x58a0000 0x4000000 65MB ; 15 12: 0:BOOTCONFIG 0x0000ffff 0x5340000 0x60000 393KB ; 13 13: 0:APPSBL_1 0x0000ffff 0xc80000 0x500000 5.2MB ; 9 14: rootfs_1 0x0000ffff 0x1340000 0x4000000 65MB ; 12

0x98a0000 to 0xfffffff is apparently unused


APPSBL = u-boot. BOOTCONFIG is very important and can not be moved.
