I recently got the Linux version of the driver merged; the newer Linux NAND subsystem code doesn't need all of the previous patches I sent for u-boot, though if you're basing off of 2.6.22 you'll need a couple patches that went in more recently than that (78b65179 Don't panic... and 1c45f604 Fix misparenthesization...). >> What's about the current state of NAND-Flash Support for MPC831x in >> U-Boot using the FCM concerning: >> - Read/Write/Erase Access I'll try to get a new patch for this out soon. >> - Booting from NAND There's an un-cleaned-up patch from the BSP sitting around on my hard disk... It's a rather intrusive patch (mostly due to the need to get RAM going with only 4K of code), so it'll need some looking over before I submit. Not likely for the upcoming merge window, but maybe the next one if my schedule permits. -Scott ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
