Yes, that note was me adding something to my todo list. :-) >> I'm not talking about circumventing the driver, just accessing some user >> OOB bytes through it. > > There are no user OOB bytes, the driver does the ECC so user has no need to > write any OOB. By "user OOB bytes" I meant things other than the ECC and the bad-block marker -- the space described by oobavail in ecclayout. This is getting less useful with partial-page restrictions and large ECC that fills up most of the OOB, though, and thus there's a trend away from making use of it. So if it's a pain to provide access to any spare OOB bytes, it's not that big of a deal. -Scott _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
