hello,

I have some problems with an mpc5200b based board. It's nearly

compatible to

the lite5200b board.
I connected an samsung k9k8g08u0a nand flash via the lpb bus. This

works

fine with an self written nand driver.
Now I try to use the standard nand driver from linux and configure

it via

the dts file. But this doesn't work and I get
the following output:

                                           ^^^^^^^^^

NAND Flash is not a CFI flash device. The cfi-flash driver won't

work with it.

Which compatible mode whould you choose ?

Now my questions are:
Is there any error in the dts configuration?
Is it principle posible to configure a nand flash via the dts

file (in

combination with mpc5200b)?

It is possible to *describe* the NAND flash via the dts file. The

dts

Quoted 4 lines

file doesn't configure anything. It just describes the hardware layout so that you can write or bind the appropriate driver to the device. I don't know if a device tree binding has been defined for NAND flash yet.

I find 3 MTD NAND drivers with OF bindings in
linux-2.6/drivers/mtd/nand

   $ grep -l of_device *.c

   fsl_upm.c

The bindings for the FSL UPM are described in
http://lxr.linux.no/linux <http://lxr.linux.no/linux%3C/font%3E>

v2.6.28/Documentation/powerpc/dts-bindings/fsl/upm-nand.txt.

Something similar is needed for his board (NAND connected to lpb) as well.

Am I wrong or is the MTD_NAND_FSL_UPM only useable with PPC_83xx or PPC_85xx?

I read in some forums that the nand flash must be activated in

the u-boot

before it can be configured via dts.

You definitely need to set up the CS line for the NAND before using

it

in Linux. Typically this is done in U-Boot, but in a pinch it can

be

done in the platform support code (arch/powerpc/platforms/52xx/*)

Yep, and also the R/B pin should be handled somehow, preferably using the OF GPIO interface.

I set the upper named points in the u-boot, now.
