TI 08:09 PM Software Development: RE: Writing UBIFS rootfs to AM3354 with 512MB NAND
Kim
I am not super familiar with ubifs, but it seems it can be a bit tricky to master. I know it can be done, as some of our customers are using it. One thing I have seen is to make sure the subpage size is the same as the page size (4k...

Here some additional information that maybe helpful. After ubiformat the erase blocks are all marked BAD. Kim Weller

Hi Tim,
I've been following this steps and it looks like the ubi.img is writing to NAND, but I get error 28 (No space left on device) when trying to attach. Here are my steps for writing ubi.img:

TI has a few pages on this.. check out http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/UBIFS_Support
As long as you program the ubifs from linux there should not be an issue.
There is currently a disconnect between ECC used by u-boot and ...

What's the procedure for creating and writing the Linux UBIFS rootfs to the AM3354 512MB NAND? What ECC is used for the UBIFS partitions?

BC 02:15 PM Software Development: Interfacing with TLK110 Ethernet
We are moving our design away from the Vitesse ethernet chip (VSC8601) included on the Am3359 dev board to a Texas Instruments TLK110.
We know these are used with AM3359 successfully by TI;

We are currently using the 3.1 kernel from the critical link git.
Thanks for the info!

It seem the git diif shows me the differences between what I originally cloned from Critical Link and my current changes in the directory.

You could try @git diff@

Hey Jonathan,
I've simply modified the files with-in the u-boot-mityarm-335x directory. Would there be
any way to diff the changes made to the repo?
Thanks,
John C.

John,
Depending on how you did your changes you should be able to do a _git pull_ and git will update the repo, merging with your changes where necessary.

What version of the kernel are you running?
This might be of some interest.

Is there a way to enter a low power state in the AM3359?
I've been attempting different variations on the following:
echo "mem" > /sys/power/class
...but it does not appear to do anything. The linux configuration seems to have it...

TI 09:28 PM Software Development: RE: booting 3359 from NAND only
I'll add to what Mike said a wee bit.
You can use the mtdparts u-boot command to display (and set) mtdparts in u-boot [ see http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootCmdGroupFlash#Section_5.9.3.5. ]
These _should_ line up with the linux v...

MW 07:23 PM Software Development: RE: booting 3359 from NAND only
Hi Keith,
I don't think the NAND is actually physically partitioned. It's more of a "table" as you say.
The Kernel will use a default partitioning as coded in the arch/arm/mach-davinci/board-mityarm335x.c file. However, you can co...

Hi Tim,
I have just been looking at flashing from the mmc, however, I have managed to confuse myself even more!
From the linux running on the SD card if I use "mtdinfo -au" it tells me that the file system is in mtd8, not mtd7 (there ...

KF 06:09 AM Software Development: RE: booting 3359 from NAND only
Hi Tim,
Thanks for the quick reply. When you say keep the EEC mode consistent between the u-boot and the kernel is this just the EEC mode used when they were written to NAND, or something more sinister such as something in the way they ...

Tim,
We just ran across this exact problem with our newly purchased 3354 module(we had been using the 3359's).
I had followed the original instructions for cloning the repository and building it but then modified portions of

Make sure that the ECC mode is consistent between u-boot (where you are flashing the ubifs) and the kernel. Alternatively, you could flash the ubifs image from linux (boot from mmc and then flash).
You might also want to change y...

The hundreds of "ECC: uncorrectable." messages were due to "nandecc hw 2" line in my environment variables. I discoverd that "nandecc hw 2" disables the nandecc, but replacing with nandecc hw2 seems to help.
Still no progress with th...

Hi,
I have been trying to get my 3359 system up and running from NAND, using a combination of Critical Link and TI info, and I am having a few issues.
I can run u-boot and the kernel (with a few hundred "ECC: uncorrectable." errors) fr...
