mtd-utils.git/ubi-utils, branch v2.0.0

Move ubi-utils libraries to common library location

2016-11-17T10:36:56+00:00

Historically, the mtd-utils and ubi-utils were seperate packages. The ubi-utils were at some point merged into the mtd-utils. They first appeared in the release tar-ball in version 1.1.0 in their own sub-hirarchy with their own buildsystem, readme, documentation, etc. A lot of the duplicated stuff got centralized/removed over time. This patch further cleans up the directory hirarchy duplication by moving common libraries from the ubi-utils/ into the central lib/ and include/ directories in the top directory of the mtd-utils package. This includes: - libuib.a & libubigen.a used by the ubi utilities - libscan.a currently only used by ubiformat - libiniparser.a used by ubinize Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer

Merge rest of ubiutils-common into libmtd common

2016-11-17T10:36:56+00:00

This patch moves the remaining 3 functions from ubiutils-common.{c,h} into libmtd common.{c,h}. The functions are only generic utility functions that other mtd-utils programs may also find usefull and every program that uses libubi links against libmtd anyway so there is no real reason for keeping around a seperate ubiutils-common with only generic helper functions.

Remove unused ubiutils_print_text from ubi-utils common

2016-11-17T10:36:56+00:00

The function ubiutils_print_text was previously used by ubinize to pretty-print parts of the help text. Since the help text has been moved to a man page, the function is no longer used/needed. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer

Add ubinize manpage

2016-11-17T10:36:56+00:00

This patch removes the lengthy help text from the ubinize utility that attempted to describte the file format and every minor detail, and reformats it into a more readable man page. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer

Add support for sysfs mocking

In order to use test files, allow sysfs root to be set during compile time Signed-off-by: Daniel Walter

Change build system to autotools

2016-11-17T10:36:55+00:00

This patch is largely based on Richards original RFC. The major differences to the RFC patch are: - Add missing sumtools & mtdpart targets - Fix name of mkfs.jffs2 target - Add missing subdir-objects option for non-recursive make - Move all automake options to configure.ac - Add manpages to install target - Make XATTR & LZO support configurable - Install binaries to sbin directory like in the old build system - Install flash_erase wrapper script - Add files missing from distribution target Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

mtd-utils: ubinize: Always return error code (at least -1) in case of an error

2015-09-29T18:46:41+00:00

ubinize should not fail silenty, this can be very annoying when using it from other tools that rely on the exit code for determining the success of their operation. Signed-off-by: Enrico Jorns Signed-off-by: Brian Norris

libmtd: don't ignore "region index" parameter in mtd_regioninfo()

2014-11-05T03:00:42+00:00

ioctl(MEMGETREGIONINFO) has one input parameter (regionindex) and three output parameters (info about the erase region). There are two problems in mtdinfo/libmtd here: 1. mtdinfo.c doesn't initialize its region_info_user struct, instead passing uninitialized data to mtd_regioninfo() 2. mtd_regioninfo() fails to utilize the 'regidx' parameter to fill out the regionindex parameter properly, so the garbage from mtdinfo.c is propagated to the ioctl() This means that mtdinfo will continuously probe the same (possibly out-of-range) erase region, instead of looping over the valid regions. Let's fix this in the mtd_regioninfo() helper, and at the same time, let's zero out the mtdinfo.c buffer, as an additional precaution to keep from using uninitialized data.
