Hi,
When writing a JFFS2 image to NAND flash, any bad blocks in the BBT is skipped. However, while scanning a JFFS2 partition, bad blocks are not skipped. Is this intended or am I mis-configuring u-boot somehow? I'm using the 2010.12 u-boot source code. The BBT table for my system includes the following bad blocks... Bad block table found at page 524224, version 0x03 Bad block table found at page 524160, version 0x03 nand_read_bbt: Bad block at 0x000000d40000 nand_read_bbt: Bad block at 0x00002bb40000 nand_read_bbt: Bad block at 0x00002bb60000 nand_read_bbt: Bad block at 0x00002fec0000 nand_read_bbt: Bad block at 0x00003b6a0000 nand_read_bbt: Bad block at 0x00003ff40000 Offset 0xD40000 is in the middle of my JFFS2 partition, which contains my kernel image. During boot, when the JFFS2 partition is loaded, I see the following errors: In: serial Out: serial Err: serial ### JFFS2 loading 'netviz_core_fpga.bit' to 0x1000000 Scanning JFFS2 FS: . read_nand_cached: error reading nand off 0xd40000 size 8192 bytes done. ### JFFS2 load complete: 9232568 bytes loaded to 0x1000000 I traced the code path while writing and reading NAND. The "nand write" command eventually calls the nand_write_skip_bad() function in nand_util.c which is why it was skipping the bad blocks; this is what I think should happen. However, the JFFS2 code directly calls nand_read() function instead. What should be the correct behavior?
