Hi,
Does Yaffs2 file system has its own capabilities to do ECC? My NAND driver for some reason cannot enable ECC yet. Also I want to ask the same question to Jffs2.
The Linux MTD subsystem is able to do software ECC.
By far, I cannot enable any kind of ECC from MTD yet, since my u-boot has some problem cannot do correct ECC and my root file system image is flashed by u-boot. If I enabled ECC from MTD, my root file system cannot mount.
Then fix your uboot. Or at least hire someone to do so. Otherwise you *will* encounter massive problems.
Do you know whethe Yaffs2/Jffs2 has their own build-in ECC function? Googled this but not get clear answer.
IIRC yaffs2 has it's own ECC stuff. It writes into the spare area which is a no-go and one of the reasons why it's not mainline. -- Thanks, //richard
