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
|
|
0: kernel 0x00200000 0x00000000 0
|
|
1: dtb 0x00040000 0x00200000 0
|
|
2: root 0x00200000 0x00240000 0
|
|
3: user 0x01ac0000 0x00440000 0
|
|
4: env 0x00080000 0x01f00000 0
|
|
5: u-boot 0x00080000 0x01f80000 0
|
|
|
|
active partition: nor0,0 - (kernel) 0x00200000 @ 0x00000000
|
|
|
|
defaults:
|
|
mtdids : nor0=1fc000000.nor_flash
|
|
mtdparts: mtdparts=1fc000000.nor_flash:2m(kernel),256k(dtb),2m(root),27392k(user),512k(env),512k(u-boot)
|
|
|
|
=> ubi part root

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
|
|
|
|
|
|
