Dear Josh, First thank you for announcing UBI support on U-boot.
Actually the Samsung implemented the UBI support on U-boot already and has used it internally. The big difference is the code base. It's based on kernel UBI code. Yes it's not fit well to u-boot ecosystem so it created the ubi wrapper for u-boot. I saw your source codes and ubi commands. I think it supports minimal features of UBI, no volume create, remove, read/write and so on like these. u-boot $ help ubi ubi info [l[ayout]] - Display volume and ubi layout information ubi create[vol] volume [size] [type] - create volume name with size ubi write[vol] address volume size - Write volume from address with size ubi read[vol] address volume [size] - Read volume to address with size ubi remove[vol] volume - Remove volume [Legends] volume: character name size: KiB, MiB, GiB, and bytes type: s[tatic] or d[ynamic] (default=dynamic) I want to know what's the better way if there are two code bases. Please give any options and comments Thank you, Kyungmin Park P.S., we will post the patches ASAP >> As has been stated before by various people, IBM has added some form of >> UBI support to an older version of U-Boot.
