Only complete erase + blocks can be erased. + + If `clean' is specified, a JFFS2-style clean marker is written to + each block after it is erased. If `clean' is specified without an + offset or size, the entire flash is erased. + + This command will not erase blocks that are marked bad. There is + a debug option in cmd_nand.c to allow bad blocks to be erased. + Please read the warning there before using it, as blocks marked + bad by the manufacturer must _NEVER_ be erased. + + nand info + Print information about all of the NAND devices found. + + nand read addr ofs size + Read `size' bytes from `ofs' in NAND flash to `addr'. If a page + cannot be read because it is marked bad or an uncorrectable data + error is found the command stops with an error. + + nand read.jffs2 addr ofs size + Like `read', but the data for blocks that are marked bad is read as + 0xff. This gives a readable JFFS2 image that can be processed by + the JFFS2 commands such as ls and fsload. + + nand read.oob addr ofs size + Read `size' bytes from the out-of-band data area corresponding to + `ofs' in NAND flash to `addr'. This is limited to the 16 bytes of + data for one 512-byte page or 2 256-byte pages. There is no check + for bad blocks or ECC errors. + + nand write addr ofs size + Write `size' bytes from `addr' to `ofs' in NAND flash. If a page + cannot be written because it is marked bad or the write fails the + command stops with an error. + + nand write.jffs2 addr ofs size + Like `write', but blocks that are marked bad are skipped and the + is written to the next block instead. This allows writing writing + a JFFS2 image, as long as the image is short enough to fit even + after skipping the bad blocks. Compact images, such as those + produced by mkfs.jffs2 should work well, but loading an image copied + from another flash is going to be trouble if there are any bad blocks. + + nand write.oob addr ofs size + Write `size' bytes from `addr' to the out-of-band data area + corresponding to `ofs' in NAND flash. This is limited to the 16 bytes + of data for one 512-byte page or 2 256-byte pages. There is no check + for bad blocks. + +Configuration Options: + + CFG_CMD_NAND + A good one to add to CONFIG_COMMANDS since it enables NAND support. + + CONFIG_MTD_NAND_ECC_JFFS2 + Define this if you want the Error Correction Code information in + the out-of-band data to be formatted to match the JFFS2 file system. + CONFIG_MTD_NAND_ECC_YAFFS would be another useful choice for + someone to implement. + + CFG_MAX_NAND_DEVICE + The maximum number of NAND devices you want to support. + +NAND Interface: + + #define NAND_WAIT_READY(nand) + Wait until the NAND flash is ready.
