Hi all,
I booted with ramdisk rfs image and erased one of the flash partition with
flash_eraseall (with -j option) utility. The OOB data written in the
partition was as shown as below.
OOB:
ff ff ff ff ff ff 9a a5
a6 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
ff ff ff ff ff ff 03 33
0c ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
ff ff ff ff ff ff 03 c0
3f ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
ff ff ff ff ff ff a5 65
a6 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
Then, booted with jffs2 rfs image and repeated same operation, the OOB
data written was
OOB:
ff ff ff ff ff ff 0c 33
0c ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
ff ff ff ff ff ff 30 ff
0c ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
ff ff ff ff ff ff f3 cf
3c ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff c0
0c ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
command used for erasing flash partition in both cases was
# flash_eraseall -j /dev/mtd11
I want to know :-
1) why there is difference between written OOB data when erasing while
booted with ramdisk image and that of when booted with jffs2 image , even
though i am using same utility (with same option) to erase flash
partition.
2) is flash_eraseall utility functionality depends on the type of RFS
system booted with ?
Thanks
Rupesh
