libmtd: allow write operations when MEMWRITE is not supported

2011-12-12T21:45:54+00:00

MEMWRITE is a recently introduced write interface for MTD; however, it is only supported on NAND flash. mtd-utils should fall back to old write methods when either ENOTTY or EOPNOTSUPP are returned. This is a showstopper when, for instance, using ubiformat on NOR, which don't have a mtd->write_oob interface (and thus don't support MEMWRITE): ubiformat: formatting eraseblock 2 -- 1 % complete libmtd: error!: MEMWRITE ioctl failed for eraseblock 2 (mtd3) error 122 (Operation not supported) Signed-off-by: Brian Norris Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

nandtest: seed random generator with time

2011-12-05T06:27:31+00:00

If a seed is not provided via --seed, we use the default rand() values, which produces the same sequence of values every run. Since this is undesirable, we should choose a random seed via the current time(). Note that this patch moves the srand() until after all the initial options processing.

2011-12-01T07:55:05+00:00

Makefile: separate man page install and compression steps

2011-11-22T21:31:24+00:00

If the system doesn't have gzip installed, we should still be able to install the man pages. So install the file in one step, and then compress it in another (and ignore failures from that). Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

Makefile: fix install target with out-of-tree builds

2011-11-22T21:31:18+00:00

The install target always looks for the compiled binaries in the working directory which breaks when doing something like `make CHOST=... install`. Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

1.4.8 release

2011-11-19T20:40:45+00:00

Unfortunately I forgot to update the version in Makefile and tagged v1.4.7. To fix this, I could not invent anything better than cut a new release 1.4.8. Sorry for this :-( Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy
