2009-06-24 11:45:23     Not able to create MTD partition in trunk-svn

Message: 76265   

I am using uclinux-dist-trunk-svn for my BF527. I have enabled jffs2 and MTD partition. Also created my own MTD partition in the file arch/blackfin/mach-bf527/boards/ezkit.c

static struct mtd_partition ezkit_partitions[] = {

        {

                .name       = "bootloader(nor)",// 256k for boot loader

                .size       = 0x40000,

                .offset     = 0,

        }, {

                .name       = "linux kernel(nor)",//256 k for kernel

                .size       = 0x40000,

                .offset     = MTDPART_OFS_APPEND,

        }, {

                .name       = "file system(nor)",//3.5 MB for flash

                .size       = MTDPART_SIZ_FULL,

                .offset     = MTDPART_OFS_APPEND,

        }

};

But MTD partition not created successfully, and i am getting this error message while boot up,

physmap platform flash device: 00400000 at 20000000

physmap-flash physmap-flash.0: Could not reserve memory region

physmap-flash: probe of physmap-flash.0 failed with error -12

But with same configuration in uClinux-dist-2008R1.5 for BF527, MTD partions are successfully created.

I am posting entire kernel boot up here,

so figure out what you enabled that claimed the memory region.  read /proc/iomem.

Mike,

I am not able to get it after reading /proc/iomem.

root:/> cat /proc/iomem

20000000-203fffff : physmap-flash.0

20200000-20200100 : r8a66597_hcd

ffc00400-ffc004ff : bfin-uart.1

ffc01400-ffc01400 : i2c-bfin-twi.0

ffc02000-ffc020ff : bfin-uart.1

Is this means 4MB of flash is not partitioned and flat. It seems no one has claimed it.

are we reading the same output ?  that clearly shows the r8a66597_hcd is using bank 2 already.  you cant use bank 2 with flash if you have a usb device hooked up to it.

Yes its the same output.

Is it possible to remove the usb device hook?

how can i do that?

if you dont want to use the USB device, then dont build the driver.  that doesnt magically change the hardware async bank connections -- you need to verify the async banks are routed to the right devices.

I have disabled usb in make menuconfig, still proc/iomem shows

20200000-20200100 : r8a66597_hcd

Does this means async bank connections are hardwired and cannot be changed through config options?

If so, How to verify the hardwire connection?
