[U-Boot-Users] RE: Nand OOB layout, u-boot and the kernel sources do not agree.. ??

[Woodruff, Richard]

Looking about infradead.org tells that the OOB area can be reconfigured via
ioctl.  I suppose that this is something which would be needed prior to
mount.  Having more up to date definitions would seem better....as raw nand
doesn't seem to be well supported except with jffs2 & possibly yaffs I don't
suppose the NAND_NOOB is such a concern.

Hello,
 
While trying to resolve what the OOB data layout should be I see that the
kernel headers as of 8-10-2002 have changed such that both the NAND_JFFS2
and NAND_NOOB use position 5 for bad block data.  The u-boot headers do not
reflect this change...doesn't this mean u-boot will be incompatible with
more recent kernels?  Should u-boot's headers be updated here?
 
Regards,
 
Richard W.
