Dear list users,
I got a system where a Samsung NAND ist connect via Adresslines (A0 ->
CLE, A1 -> ALE) using a chipselect from the processor. I looked through
the guide "MTD NAND Driver Programming Interface" and the sources to
adapt an existing driver. Now I stuck with a problem concerning the
board_hwcontrol function.
It's alwas there that CLE/ALE have a set and a clear command. But in my
setup the CLE/ALE setting is made through the access of the
addresslines. See the table:
A1(ALE) A0(CLE) Beispieladresse Funktion
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 0 0 0xA8000000 read/write access on mem
2 0 1 0xA8000001 Command
3 1 0 0xA8000002 Addresssetting
4 1 1 0xA8000003 not valid
The base is A8000000 for example.
Now writing a Byte to 0xA8000001 (a NAND command) automatically sets ALE
=0 and CLE=1
Writing the addressparts is done through writing the 1st databyte Col1
to address 0xA8000002 and so on.
Concerning now the function board_hwcontrol there is the
...
switch(cmd) {
case NAND_CTL_SETCLE: /* Write to addr 0xA8000001 */;break;
case NAND_CTL_CLRCLE: /* do nothing */;break;
case NAND_CTL_SETALE: /* Write to addr 0xA8000002 */;break;
case NAND_CTL_CLRALE: /* do nothing */;break;
}
...
Am I right when these commands have to be empty in this case?
Where do I tell the system to use the address 0xA8000001 for commands
and 0xA8000002 for addresses?
Kind Regards
Marcus
