Hi All: It seems that the ECC correction is broken on the Linux with the 4xx NDFC driver. It uses the SMC order when reading the ECC code. 2-1-3
static int ndfc_calculate_ecc(struct mtd_info *mtd, const u_char *dat, u_char *ecc_code) { struct ndfc_controller *ndfc = &ndfc_ctrl; uint32_t ecc; uint8_t *p = (uint8_t *)&ecc; wmb(); ecc = in_be32(ndfc->ndfcbase + NDFC_ECC); /* The NDFC uses Smart Media (SMC) bytes order */ ecc_code[0] = p[2]; ecc_code[1] = p[1]; ecc_code[2] = p[3]; return 0; } However, when in the correction function, the byte address order is again reverses causing incorrect byte location. * performace it does not make any difference */ if (eccsize_mult == 1) byte_addr = (addressbits[b0] << 4) + addressbits[b1]; >>>> The above really should be byte_addr = (addressbits[b1] << 4) + addressbits[b0]; else byte_addr = (addressbits[b2 & 0x3] << 8) + (addressbits[b1] << 4) + addressbits[b0]; bit_addr = addressbits[b2 >> 2]; /* flip the bit */ buf[byte_addr] ^= (1 << bit_addr); printk(KERN_INFO "Corrected b[0] 0x%x b[1]0x%x\n", b0, b1); printk(KERN_INFO "cal ecc b[0] 0x%x b[1]0x%x\n", calc_ecc[0] , calc_ecc[1]); printk(KERN_INFO "read ecc b[0] 0x%x b[1]0x%x\n", read_ecc[0] , read_ecc[1]); return 1; I see other boards using SMC as well, can someone comment on the change I am proposing. Should I change the correction algorithm or the calculate function? If the later is preferred it would mean the change must be pushed in both U-Boot and Linux.
