[U-Boot] issue with 'ubi part'

[Andre Schwarz]

Stefan,

actually I have an issue with the "ubi part" command.

Situation:

MPC8377 based board with 64MiB Nor- (u-boot etc.) and 1GiB Nand-Flash 
(ubi volume).

MTD devices look like this :

=> mtdparts

device nor0 <NOR>, # parts = 2
  #: name                size            offset          mask_flags
  0: u-boot              0x00100000      0x00000000      0
  1: FPGA                0x00200000      0x00100000      0

device nand0 <NAND>, # parts = 1
  #: name                size            offset          mask_flags
  0: root                0x40000000      0x00000000      0

active partition: nor0,0 - (u-boot) 0x00100000 @ 0x00000000

defaults:
mtdids  : nor0=NOR,nand0=NAND
mtdparts: mtdparts=NOR:1M(u-boot),2M(FPGA);NAND:-(root)
=>


Setting the ubi partition to "root" fails :

=> ubi part root
Creating 1 MTD partitions on "nand0":
0x000000000000-0x000040000000 : "mtd=0"

Did another test with a single NAND device :

=> mtdparts

device nand0 <NAND>, # parts = 1
  #: name                size            offset          mask_flags
  0: root                0x40000000      0x00000000      0

active partition: nand0,0 - (root) 0x40000000 @ 0x00000000

defaults:
mtdids  : nand0=NAND
mtdparts: mtdparts=NAND:-(root)

=> ubi part root

To me the mtd numbering looks wrong in both cases - specififally: 
"ubi_init: can't attach mtdX"

Any hints ? Have I missed something ?
