Micron MT29F8G08ABABA Flash and OMAP-L138 on Linux

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP-L138

I'm integrating a 1Gb NAND flash using the OMAP-l138.  I've updated the nand_ids.c file in both the Linux kernel (2.6.31) and U-Boot 2009.11-dirty.  U-Boot is able to successfully erase and scrub the NAND flash.  After an erase in Uboot, it only reports a few bad blocks.  In the Linux kernel, however, I'm unable to read/write to it successfully.  The NAND chip is able to be probed via the davinci_nand.c successfully and can read the page size, etc, but it reports unable to read the Bad Block Table (BBT).  For example, I get "nand_bbt: ECC error while reading bad block table".

I have also compiled and installed the latest mtd-utils onto the target (Linux) so I can use mtdinfo, flash_erase, etc.  However, when I try and re-erase via "flash_erase", it believes all blocks are bad. 

I had to update "davinci_nand.c" and "nand.h" to support the 4096K page size / 224 Out of Band (OOB) of this NAND chip.

Searching this forum, it appears others have had initial issues with this newer Micron chip; however, I believe I have most critical changes correct.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
