2022-03-28nandwrite: warn about writing 0xff blocksRafał Miłecki
Such blocks may be incorrectly treated as empty (even though they may have non-erase OOB). Warn about it so people may start useing --skip-all-ffs . Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@milecki.pl> Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>
2020-02-09mtd-utils: Fix potential negative arguments passed to close(2)David Oberhollenzer
Many tools open a file descriptor, close it a the end and have some form of error path in between that jumps to the end. In some cases, if opening the file fails the error path is taken and the utility ends up closing one or more invalid file descriptors. It's technically not a real issue but something that pretty much any static analysis tool barks at. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>

2017-01-18nandwrite: Add --skip-bad-blocks-to-start optionMike Crowe
The --skip-bad-blocks-to-start option will increase the seek offset by the size of each bad block encountered between the start of the partition and the specified start address. This can be useful when writing part way through a partition that will be read using a simple bad-block-skipping algorithm.

2017-01-12nandwrite: fix/cleanup bad block skippingDavid Oberhollenzer
JFFS2 supports clustering erase blocks to virtual erase blocks. nandwrite supports this, but previously mixed up virtual and physical erase block numbers when checking for bad blocks. This patch adds a function for checking if a virtual erase block is bad and replaces the broken mtd_is_bad loop. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>

2017-01-12nandwrite: add stricter sanity checking for blockalignDavid Oberhollenzer
This patch makes sure that a virtual erase block is always composed of a postivie number of erase blocks (i.e. 1 or more) and enforces the block alignment to be a power of two as suggested by the help text and assumed throughout the program.

2016-11-17Unify version string printingDavid Oberhollenzer
When a program does sophisticated enough command line processing (i.e. getopt), make sure it responds to -V and --version. When a program prints a version string, make sure it uses the common_print_version macro to print out its name, that it is part of mtd-utils and the mtd-utils version from the build system in a fashion similar to common program packages like the GNU coreutils. When a program responds to -V/--version or -h/--help, make sure it reports success exit status.

2015-11-11mtd-utils: Restructure the mtd-utils source.Dongsheng Yang
* There is no code modification in this commit, only moving * the files to proper place. The user tools looks a little messy as we place almost the all tools in the root directory of mtd-utils. To make it more clear, I propose to introduce the following structure for our source code. mtd-utils/ |-- lib |-- include |-- misc-utils |-- jffsX-utils |-- nand-utils |-- nor-utils |-- ubi-utils |-- ubifs-utils `-- tests Signed-off-by: Dongsheng Yang <yangds.fnst@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Brian Norris <computersforpeace@gmail.com>
