1JFFS2 options and usage.
2-----------------------
3
4JFFS2 in U-Boot is a read only implementation of the file system in
5Linux with the same name. To use JFFS2 define CFG_CMD_JFFS2.
6
7The module adds three new commands.
8fsload - load binary file from a file system image
9fsinfo - print information about file systems
10ls - list files in a directory
11
12
13There is two ways for JFFS2 to find the disk. The default way uses
14the flash_info structure to find the start of a JFFS2 disk (called
15partition in the code) and you can change where the partition is with
16two defines.
17
18CFG_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK
19 defined the first flash bank to use
20
21CFG_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR
22 defines the first sector to use
23
24
25The second way is to define CFG_JFFS_CUSTOM_PART and implement the
26jffs2_part_info(int part_num) function in your board specific files.
27In this mode CFG_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK and CFG_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR is not
28used.
29
30The input is a partition number starting with 0.
31Return a pointer to struct part_info or NULL for error;
32
33Ex jffs2_part_info() for one partition.
34---
35#if defined CFG_JFFS_CUSTOM_PART
36#include <jffs2/jffs2.h>
37
38static struct part_info part;
39
40struct part_info*
41jffs2_part_info(int part_num)
42{
43 if(part_num==0){
44 if(part.usr_priv==(void*)1)
45 return &part;
46
47 memset(&part, 0, sizeof(part));
48 part.offset=(char*)0xFF800000;
49 part.size=1024*1024*8;
50
51 /* Mark the struct as ready */
52 part.usr_priv=(void*)1;
53
54 return &part;
55 }
56 return 0;
57}
58#endif
59---
60
61TODO.
62
63 Add a new command so it's actually possible to change
64 partition.
65
66 Remove the assumption that JFFS can dereference a pointer
67 into the disk. The current code do not work with memory holes
68 or hardware with a sliding window (PCMCIA).
