[Ltib] mtd-utils and kernel 2.6.33

[Bruce]

Hey all,

I'm reading that the newer kernel with newer mtd require... yes a newer mkfs.jffs2 (mtd-utils) to construct the rootfs.jffs2 file.

I don't have a problem pulling the latest mtd-utils and fitting it into my local build but I don't quite get how the host mtd-tools are installed and how to just have ltib build that one. Do I need to do a full distclean and re-run ltib to include my updated mtd-utils package?

I see ltib/config/platform/host/pkg_map seems to set which one to use for the host install. Of course there's another pkg_map file for the specific platform I can set to use the same package.

Currently there are a couple spec files:

ltib/dist/lfs-5.1/mtd-utils/mtd-utils-20060302.spec

ltib/dist/lfs-5.1/mtd-utils/mtd-utils.spec

The 2006 file is for the host and the other is for the target. I'd add a separate file for the newer tools...

This all has to do with the NAND flash chip we are using: "Micron 29F4G08AAC 8-bit 2K page 512MB (4Gb) SLC nand"

It wasn't supported by the distribution we started with.

 

Thanks,
Bruce
