2013-11-21mtd: nand: omap: add CONFIG_NAND_OMAP_ECCSCHEME for selection of ecc-schemepekon gupta
This patch adds new CONFIG_NAND_OMAP_ECCSCHEME, replacing other distributed CONFIG_xx used for selecting NAND ecc-schemes. This patch aims at solving following issues. 1) Currently ecc-scheme is tied to SoC platform, which prevents user to select other ecc-schemes also supported in hardware. like; - most of OMAP3 SoC platforms use only 1-bit Hamming ecc-scheme, inspite the fact that they can use higher ecc-schemes like 8-bit ecc-schemes with software based error detection (OMAP_ECC_BCH4_CODE_HW_DETECTION_SW). - most of AM33xx SoC plaforms use 8-bit BCH ecc-scheme for now, but hardware supports BCH16 ecc-scheme also. 2) Different platforms use different CONFIG_xx to select ecc-schemes, which adds confusion for user while migrating platforms. - *CONFIG_NAND_OMAP_ELM* which enables ELM hardware engine, selects only 8-bit BCH ecc-scheme with h/w based error-correction (OMAP_ECC_BCH8_CODE_HW) whereas ELM hardware engine supports other ecc-schemes also like; BCH4, and BCH16 (in future). - *CONFIG_NAND_OMAP_BCH8* selects 8-bit BCH ecc-scheme with s/w based error correction (OMAP_ECC_BCH8_CODE_HW_DETECTION_SW). - *CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SOFTECC* selects 1-bit Hamming ecc-scheme using s/w library Thus adding new *CONFIG_NAND_OMAP_ECCSCHEME* de-couples ecc-scheme dependency on SoC platform and NAND driver. And user can select ecc-scheme independently foreach board. However, selection some hardware based ecc-schemes (OMAP_ECC_BCHx_CODE_HW) still depends on presence of ELM hardware engine on SoC.

2013-11-21mtd: nand: omap: enable BCH ECC scheme using ELM for generic platformpekon gupta
BCH8_ECC scheme implemented in omap_gpmc.c driver has following favours +-----------------------------------+-----------------+-----------------+ |ECC Scheme | ECC Calculation | Error Detection | +-----------------------------------+-----------------+-----------------+ |OMAP_ECC_BCH8_CODE_HW |GPMC |ELM H/W engine | |OMAP_ECC_BCH8_CODE_HW_DETECTION_SW |GPMC |S/W BCH library | +-----------------------------------+-----------------+-----------------+ Current implementation limits the BCH8_CODE_HW only for AM33xx device family. (using CONFIG_AM33XX). However, other SoC families (like TI81xx) also have ELM hardware module, and can support ECC error detection using ELM. This patch - removes CONFIG_AM33xx Thus this driver can be reused by all devices having ELM h/w engine. - adds omap_select_ecc_scheme() A common function to handle ecc-scheme related configurations. This can be used both during device-probe and via user-space u-boot commads to change ecc-scheme. During device probe ecc-scheme is selected based on CONFIG_NAND_OMAP_ELM or CONFIG_NAND_OMAP_BCH8 - enables CONFIG_BCH S/W library (lib/bch.c) required by OMAP_ECC_BCHx_CODE_HW_DETECTION_SW is enabled by CONFIG_BCH. - enables CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ONFI_DETECTION for auto-detection of ONFI compliant NAND devices - updates following README doc doc/README.nand board/ti/am335x/README doc/README.omap3 Signed-off-by: Pekon Gupta <pekon@ti.com> [scottwood@freescale.com: fixed unused variable warning] Signed-off-by: Scott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com>
2013-11-21mtd: nand: omap: make am33xx/elm.c as common driver for all OMAPx and AMxxxx ↵pekon gupta
platforms ELM hardware engine which is used for ECC error detection, is present on all latest OMAP SoC (like OMAP4xxx, OMAP5xxx, DRA7xxx, AM33xx, AM43xx). Thus ELM driver should be moved to common drivers/mtd/nand/ folder so that all SoC having on-chip ELM hardware engine can re-use it. This patch has following changes: - mv arch/arm/include/asm/arch-am33xx/elm.h arch/arm/include/asm/omap_elm.h - mv arch/arm/cpu/armv7/am33xx/elm.c drivers/mtd/nand/omap_elm.c - update Makefiles - update #include <asm/elm.h> - add CONFIG_NAND_OMAP_ELM to compile driver/mtd/nand/omap_elm.c and include in all board configs using AM33xx SoC platform.

2013-11-21mtd: move & update nand_ecclayout structure (plus board changes)Prabhakar Kushwaha
nand_ecclayout is present in mtd.h at Linux. Move this structure to mtd.h to comply with Linux. Also, increase the ecc placement locations to 640 to suport device having writesize/oobsize of 8KB/640B. This means that the maximum oobsize has gone up to 640 bytes and consequently the maximum ecc placement locations have also gone up to 640. Changes from Prabhabkar's version (squashed into one patch to preserve bisectability): - Added _LARGE to MTD_MAX_*_ENTRIES This makes the names match current Linux source, and resolves a conflict between http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/280488/ and http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/284513/ The former was posted first and is closer to matching Linux, but unlike Linux it does not add _LARGE to the names. The second adds _LARGE to one of the names, and depends on it in a subsequent patch (http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/284512/). - Made max oobfree/eccpos configurable, and used this on tricorder, alpr, ASH405, T4160QDS, and T4240QDS (these boards failed to build for me without doing so, due to a size increase). On tricorder SPL, this saves 2576 bytes (and makes the SPL build again) versus the new default of 640 eccpos and 32 oobfree, and saves 336 bytes versus the old default of 128 eccpos and 8 oobfree.

Resolution consists in adjusting the list of object files in the main branch version. This also applies to two files which are not listed as conflicting but had to be modified: board/compulab/common/Makefile board/udoo/Makefile include/configs/omap4_common.h conflicts are due to the OMAP4 conversion to ti_armv7_common.h on the ARM side, and CONFIG_SYS_HZ removal on the main side. Resolution is to convert as this icludes removal of CONFIG_SYS_HZ. include/configs/pdnb3.h is due to a removal on ARM side. Trivial resolution is to remove the file. Note: 'git show' will also list two files just because they are new: include/configs/am335x_igep0033.h include/configs/omap3_igep00x0.h

2013-10-09cmd_ubi: add write.part command, to write a volume in multiple partsPaul Burton
This allows you to write data to an UBI volume when the amount of memory available to write that data from is less than the total size of the data. For example, you may split a root filesystem UBIFS image into parts, provide the total size of the image to the first write.part command and then use multiple write.part commands to write the subsequent parts of the volume. This results in a sequence of commands akin to: ext4load mmc 0:1 0x80000000 rootfs.ubifs.0 ubi write.part 0x80000000 root 0x08000000 0x18000000 ext4load mmc 0:1 0x80000000 rootfs.ubifs.1 ubi write.part 0x80000000 root 0x08000000 ext4load mmc 0:1 0x80000000 rootfs.ubifs.2 ubi write.part 0x80000000 root 0x08000000 This would write 384MiB of data to the UBI volume 'root' whilst only requiring 128MiB of said data to be held in memory at a time.

Add mkimage support for generating and verifying MXS bootstream. The implementation here is mostly a glue code between MXSSB v0.4 and mkimage, but the long-term goal is to rectify this and merge MXSSB with mkimage more tightly. Once this code is properly in U-Boot, MXSSB shall be deprecated in favor of mkimage-mxsimage support. Note that the mxsimage generator needs libcrypto from OpenSSL, I therefore enabled the libcrypto/libssl unconditionally.

Add support for setting the CSF (Command Sequence File) pointer which is used for HAB (High Assurance Boot) in the imximage by adding e.g. CSF 0x2000 in the imximage.cfg file. This will set the CSF pointer accordingly just after the padded data image area. The boot_data.length is adjusted with the value from the imximage.cfg config file. The resulting u-boot.imx can be signed with the FSL HAB tooling. The generated CSF block needs to be appended to the u-boot.imx. Signed-off-by: Stefano Babic <sbabic@denx.de>
