ubi-utils: remove old ubi-utils

2010-09-28T07:47:06+00:00

The utilities are unmaintained for long time, and many of them do not even work, just compile, and no on complains about this. This suggests they are unused and we can now safely kill them. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

ubi-utils: tweak const strings decls

2010-09-27T06:33:43+00:00

Shrink the data size a little by declaring addresses of constant strings instead of pointers to it. Also slip in static & const on long_options missing them. Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

mtd-utils: standardize PROGRAM_NAME

2010-09-27T06:31:10+00:00

Make sure all the utils define PROGRAM_NAME and do so at the start of the file so that sub-headers may assume it exists. Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

ubi-utils: drop -Werror in old utils

2010-09-12T08:07:15+00:00

Considering this is marked as "old" which is synonymous with "dead", having the dir cause build failures because of warnings makes no sense. So drop the -Werror usage. Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

ubi-utils: reformat help text to fit in 80 columns

2010-09-02T10:24:26+00:00

Reformat the help text of ubiattach and ubidetach to display nicely on 80 column terminals, also fix a couple of bits that did not make sense. Signed-off-by: Jon Povey Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

ubi-utils: provide default value for /dev/ubi_ctrl

2010-09-02T10:22:50+00:00

Modify ubiattach and ubidetach to default to /dev/ubi_ctrl if not supplied rather than requiring the user to type it in every time. Also bump version from 1.0 to 1.1 Signed-off-by: Jon Povey Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

rename crc32 to mtd_crc32

2010-09-01T11:31:52+00:00

Because of namespace collisions mkfs.ubifs uses crc32() implementation from /lib/libz.so.1, which generates incompatible CRC and later on the kernel reports many CRC errors. Fix this by re-naming mtd-utils' crc32 function to mtd_crc32. Reported-by: Jon Povey Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

libmtd: support MEMERASE64

2010-07-26T05:37:00+00:00

This patch is base on Kevin Cernekee's patch posted to the MTD mailing list. It adds MEMERASE64 support to the 'mtd_erase()' call. Now it first tries to use MEMERASE64, and if that is not supported, falls back to the old MEMERASE ioctl. This patch also introduces an 'offs64_ioctl' flag to the libmtd descriptor. However, we cannot initialize it in 'libmtd_open()', because we need an MTD device node, which we do not have in 'libmtd_open()'. Thus, we firs mark this flag as "uninitialized", and at the first invocation of 'mtd_erase()' we initialize it. This also means that we have to pass the limbtd descriptor to 'mtd_erase()', to save the flag value. This, in turn, requires tweaking 'mtd_erase()' users. This is not very nice, but good enough so far. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

libs: remove ubiutils-specific stuff from common.h

2010-07-17T07:04:56+00:00

Now include/common.h contains things that really everyone can use. And all the stuff specific to ubi-utils is in ubi-utils/include/ubiutils-common.h Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

mtd-utils: move libmtd source files to lib/ subdirectory

2010-07-13T10:33:20+00:00

Source files for libmtd, crc32, and fec are scattered throughout the tree. Move them to a central location so they can be built into a common "libmtd.a" library used by all mtd-utils programs. This patch only renames/deletes files and does not change the content. Also modify the build system and source code so that libmtd.a can be built from a "common" location (lib/). Statically link all utilities at the top level with libmtd.a . Minor changes to mkfs.ubifs to allow using the common crc32 implementation. Signed-off-by: Kevin Cernekee Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy
