* mtd: nand: omap: add CONFIG_NAND_OMAP_ECCSCHEME for selection of ecc-schemepekon gupta2013-11-21-0/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* mtd: nand: omap: make am33xx/elm.c as common driver for all OMAPx and AMxxxx ↵pekon gupta2013-11-21-0/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* mtd: move & update nand_ecclayout structure (plus board changes)Prabhakar Kushwaha2013-11-21-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Remove legacy NAND and disk on chip code.Scott Wood2009-07-16-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Legacy NAND had been scheduled for removal. Any boards that use this were already not building in the previous release due to an #error. The disk on chip code in common/cmd_doc.c relies on legacy NAND, and it has also been removed. There is newer disk on chip code in drivers/mtd/nand; someone with access to hardware and sufficient time and motivation can try to get that working, but for now disk on chip is not supported.

* davinci_nand: cleanup II (CONFIG_SYS_DAVINCI_BROKEN_ECC)David Brownell2009-07-07-9/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove CONFIG_SYS_DAVINCI_BROKEN_ECC option. It's not just nasty; it's also unused by any current boards, and doesn't even match the main U-Boot distributions from TI (which use soft ECC, or 4-bit ECC on newer chips that support it). DaVinci GIT kernels since 2.6.24, and mainline Linux since 2.6.30, match non-BROKEN code paths for 1-bit HW ECC. The BROKEN code paths do seem to partially match what MontaVista/TI kernels (4.0/2.6.10, and 5.0/2.6.18) do ... but only for small pages. Large page support is really broken (and it's unclear just what software it was trying to match!), and the ECC layout was making three more bytes available for use by filesystem (or whatever) code. Since this option itself seems broken, remove it. Add a comment about the MV/TI compat issue, and the most straightforward way to address it (should someone really need to solve it).

* Noisily disable the legacy NAND subsystem.Scott Wood2009-04-03-96/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Legacy NAND is marked for feature removal after April 2009 (i.e. this upcoming release). There are still several boards that reference it (though many do so only for disk-on-chip support which has been silently disabled for a while now). These boards will now fail to build with #error, though the code is still there if the user removes #error. The plan is to remove the code outright in the next release, along with any board code that refers to it (such as board/esd/common/auto_update.c). Also, remove the legacy NAND API description from README.nand. Signed-off-by: Scott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com>
* NAND: rename NAND_MAX_CHIPS to CONFIG_SYS_NAND_MAX_CHIPSWolfgang Grandegger2009-01-23-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch renames NAND_MAX_CHIPS to CONFIG_SYS_NAND_MAX_CHIPS and changes the default from 8 to 1 for the legacy and the new MTD NAND layer. This allows to remove all NAND_MAX_CHIPS definitions in the board config files because none of the boards use multi chip support (NAND_MAX_CHIPS > 1) so far. The bamboo and the DU440 define #define NAND_MAX_CHIPS CONFIG_SYS_MAX_NAND_DEVICE but that's bogus and did not work anyhow.

* ARM DaVinci: Fix broken HW ECC for large page NAND.Hugo Villeneuve2008-09-10-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Based on original patch by Bernard Blackham <bernard@largestprime.net> U-boot's HW ECC support for large page NAND on Davinci is completely broken. Some kernels, such as the 2.6.10 one supported by MontaVista for DaVinci, rely upon this broken behaviour as they share the same code for ECCs. In the existing scheme, error detection *might* work on large page, but error correction definitely does not. Small page ECC correction works, but the format is not compatible with the mainline git kernel. This patch adds ECC code that matches what is currently in the Davinci git repository (since NAND support was added in 2.6.24). This makes the ECC and OOB layout written by u-boot compatible with Linux for both small page and large page devices and fixes ECC correction for large page devices. The old behaviour can be restored by defining the macro CFG_DAVINCI_BROKEN_ECC, which is undefined by default.
