S3C24XX NAND Support
|
||
|
|
====================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Introduction
|
||
|
|
------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Small Page NAND
|
||
|
|
---------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The driver uses a 512 byte (1 page) ECC code for this setup. The
|
||
|
|
ECC code is not directly compatible with the default kernel ECC
|
||
|
|
code, so the driver enforces its own OOB layout and ECC parameters
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Large Page NAND
|
||
|
|
---------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The driver is capable of handling NAND flash with a 2KiB page
|
||
|
|
size, with support for hardware ECC generation and correction.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Unlike the 512byte page mode, the driver generates ECC data for
|
||
|
|
each 256 byte block in an 2KiB page. This means that more than
|
||
|
|
one error in a page can be rectified. It also means that the
|
||
|
|
OOB layout remains the default kernel layout for these flashes.
