Now the util warns when people use it, but it'll be removed in release 1.4.6. --------------------------- - -4. Rename --noskipbad option, kill --omitbad, change default BB method for nanddump - -Our bad block handling methods are getting disorganized. They will be replaced -by a series of --bb=METHOD options (see `nanddump --help'). - -In addition, the previous default bad block behavior was to dump 0xFF in place -of bad blocks. This was not a good "inverse operation" of nandwrite. Thus, the -current default behavior has become the (new) option --bb=padbad, and in 1.4.6, -the default will be --bb=skipbad. - -The new `--bb=METHOD' options are included in this release, but all feature -removals and changed defaults will occur in 1.4.6. For now, there are -appropriate deprecation warning messages and an alert telling about the -soon-to-be-default settings. - -Transition summary table: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Old option New option Comment ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - <default> --bb=padbad dump flash data, substituting 0xFF for any bad blocks - --noskipbad --bb=dumpbad dump flash data, including any bad blocks - --skipbad --bb=skipbad, <default> dump good data, completely skipping any bad blocks (new default) - --omitbad N/A very similar to `skipbad', will be removed soon - ---------------------------- - -5. nanddump will not dump OOB by default - -In 1.4.6, nanddump will not dump OOB by default. To dump OOB, you will have to -explicitly use the option `--oob'. For now, there is simply a warning every -time you use nanddump without explicitly choosing `--oob' or `--omitoob'. - -Note that `-o' will no longer stand for `--omitoob'. To unify with nandwrite, -it will stand for `--oob' (Dump OOB data). - ---------------------------- |
