+UBI usage in U-Boot
|
|
|
|
+-------------------
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+Here the list of the currently implemented UBI commands:
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+=> help ubi
|
|
|
|
+ubi - ubi commands
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+Usage:
|
|
|
|
+ubi part [part] [offset]
|
|
|
|
+ - Show or set current partition (with optional VID header offset)
|
|
|
|
+ubi info [l[ayout]] - Display volume and ubi layout information
|
|
|
|
+ubi create[vol] volume [size] [type] - create volume name with size
|
|
|
|
+ubi write[vol] address volume size - Write volume from address with size
|
|
|
|
+ubi read[vol] address volume [size] - Read volume to address with size
|
|
|
|
+ubi remove[vol] volume - Remove volume
|
|
|
|
+[Legends]
|
|
|
|
+ volume: character name
|
|
|
|
+ size: specified in bytes
|
|
|
|
+ type: s[tatic] or d[ynamic] (default=dynamic)
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+The first command that is needed to be issues is "ubi part" to connect
|
|
|
|
+one mtd partition to the UBI subsystem. This command will either create
|
|
|
|
+a new UBI device on the requested MTD partition. Or it will attach a
|
|
|
|
+previously created UBI device. The other UBI commands will only work
|
|
|
|
+when such a UBI device is attached (via "ubi part"). Here an example:
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+=> mtdparts
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+device nor0 <1fc000000.nor_flash>, # parts = 6

|
|
+ #: name size offset mask_flags

|
|
+Now that the UBI device is attached, this device can be modified
|
|
|
|
+using the following commands:
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+ubi info Display volume and ubi layout information
|
|
|
|
+ubi createvol Create UBI volume on UBI device
|
|
|
|
+ubi removevol Remove UBI volume from UBI device
|
|
|
|
+ubi read Read data from UBI volume to memory
|
|
|
|
+ubi write Write data from memory to UBI volume
