We're already in 'if (autoplace) { }' block at ths moment. Signed-off-by: Shinya Kuribayashi <shinya.kuribayashi.px@renesas.com> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
2010-09-24nandwrite: add --skipbad to write bad blocksMike Frysinger
Sometimes dumping bad blocks is useful, like when the block isn't actually bad but the OOB layout isn't what the kernel is expecting or is otherwise screwed up. The --skipbad option allows just that.

2010-06-12mtd-utils: support 4096+64 page sizesEnric Balletbo i Serra
Add support for oobsize 64 and writesize 4096 in nanddump & nandwrite. Artem: some more info from further e-mail exchange: > Are there flashes with the 4096 page / 64 spare combination? Could you > refer to one? May be any URL? I thought 4096 comes with 128. Much to my regret I can't provide a URL because is not public. IGEP v2 board has a Onenand with two dice of 2048/64 spare combination but mtd views 4096/64. The minimal write page is 4K (2K from first dice and 2K from second dice).

2010-05-22nandwrite: fix the bug of writing a yaffs2 image to NANDStanley.Miao
The tool mkyaffs2image doesn't know the oob layout of a NAND flash, so it puts the yaffs2 tags at the offset 0 of oob area, as a result, the image generated by mkyaffs2image is different with the image dumped by nanddump. Now adding a parameter "-r" for nandwrite to differentiate these images. Write a image generated by mkyaffs2image: $> nandwrite -a -o /dev/mtd3 yaffs2.bin Write a image dumped by nanddump: $> nandwrite -a -r /dev/mtd3 image.bin Signed-off-by: Stanley.Miao <stanley.miao@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>

2009-08-11nandwrite: unified reading from standard input and from file - part 3Jehan Bing
Nandwrite tries to use lseek() when failing to write on a page. lseek() will fail when used on the standard input so nandwrite fails. This code replaces lseek with a buffer. When the data is read, it is put in a buffer (filebuf). This buffer is reset at each block boundary. So a "seek" just means reading from the beginning of the buffer. writebuf and oobreadbuf are now just pointers to locations in filebuf.

And it is very careful > about error codes - only EIO code is considered as a reason to mark an > eraseblock as bad. Fixed broken behavior in case of write failure. More specifically: - Only try to mark a block bad if the errors are EIO. Other errors will abort the tool. - Also abort the tool if the marking fails instead of ignoring it.

2009-06-08nandwrite: amend loop conditionJehan Bing
If the file contains only a few bytes in the last page and the --oob option is selected, the loop may exit early (readlen < meminfo.oobsize). Most of the time it will still work though because the code tries to read the whole OOB in one chunk.

2008-12-26nandwrite: correct data readingArtem Bityutskiy
The "read" syscall does not necessarily return all the requested data, in which case the caller has to try again and read more. Take this into account when reading input data.

2007-03-15MTD-Utils: fix handling of ioctl return value in nand-utilsFrank Haverkamp
Older kernel do not implement the MTDFILEMODE ioctl. In this case nandwrite and nanddump should have used MEMGETOOBSEL in combination with MEMSETOOBSEL. Unfortunately the return value of the unsucessfull ioctl is not -ENOTTY, but -1 and errno contains ENOTTY. This change fixes this issue. I have not tested all cornercases. Would be good if someone could do more careful testing than I did, or maybe reviewing is sufficient in this case.
