As I mentioned a few days back, there is an error in the oder of bytes in the
ECC generated by nand_ecc.c. This is benign if used on its own, but does not
conform to SmartMedia.
I have written an alternative ECC coder/checker to nand_ecc.c. I will be
grafting this into YAFFS, but it is available under LGPL so may also be
incorporated in mtd/nand, bootloaders etc.
It runs approx 15% faster than nand_ecc (architecure dependent) and is, IMHO,
a bit easier to read/understand.
It will be available form YAFFS ECC in a few days. Is there any interest in
using this for mtd/nand?
