Hi masters, I am trying to deploy a jffs2 image using ltib
./ltib --version
ltib 9.1.1 ($Revision: 1.42 $)
Unfortunately I am facing some problems and I would like to know if
they are isolated. We are working with iMX27ADS
and managed to repeat these problems in your desktops and VM using Ubuntu 9.04
1-) Stripping
The strip option is not working with me. I've built the jffs2 image
and mounted it using these procedures :
mkdir $dir
modprobe mtdram total_size=102400 erase_size=128
modprobe mtdblock
dd if=jffs2.img of=/dev/mtdblock0
mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock0 $dir
Checking if the libs are stripped
file $dir/lib* | grep -i strip

2-) Allocate extra space (Kbytes)
This acts in an odd way, my image is about 11M;
address@hidden:/home/ltib.9$ ls -lah rootfs.jffs2
-rw-r--r-- 1 hamilton hamilton 11M 2009-08-04 11:29 rootfs.jffs2
When I ask ltib to allocate 1 extra kbyte ( (1) Allocate extra space
(Kbytes) ) the final image goes to 43 M
address@hidden:/home/ltib.9$ ls -lah rootfs.jffs2
-rw-r--r-- 1 hamilton hamilton 43M 2009-08-04 11:37 rootfs.jffs2
3-) Write support to NOR.
To add RW support in nor.rootfs we had to modify the vi
arch/arm/mach-mx27/mx27ads.c
{
.name = "nor.rootfs",
.size = 12 * 1024 * 1024,
.offset = MTDPART_OFS_APPEND,
.mask_flags = MTD_WRITEABLE},
To be able to write the nor.rootfs, the block changes to:
{
.name = "nor.rootfs",
.size = 12 * 1024 * 1024,
.offset = MTDPART_OFS_APPEND},
The MTD_WRITEABLE sets partition to RO, I've found the same code for
other boards,
I would be grateful if someone else verify this.
Thanks in advance
