In general flashing works well, but I have issues when flashing certain
images. This problem is reproduceable:
* The target is a MPC5200-tiny board with 16MB of Intel Strata Flash
connected to a PPC processor.
* First I flash a large image via bootloader (u-Boot).
* Then I can boot the system.
* After system has booted, i transfer a smaller, second image to the
target /tmp folder via SCP.
* "flashcp /tmp/<image_small.img>" /dev/mtd2 -v
* The progess suggests, that everything went well, but when I reboot
i get inode errors like the following:
...
JFFS2 error: (1) jffs2_build_inode_pass1: child dir "tc" (ino
#473) of dir ino #334 appears to be a hard link
VFS: Mounted root (jffs2 filesystem).
Freeing unused kernel memory: 92k init
JFFS2 error: (160) jffs2_do_read_inode_internal: Argh. Special
inode #467 with mode 0xa1ff had more than one node
Returned error for crccheck of ino #467. Expect badness...
...
* Now i am curious what went wrong. The small image works well if i
flash using the bootloader, so it should not be an issue with the
image itself. May it be possible that i have found a bug? Any help
is appreciated.
Kind regards,
Simon
