NAND Flash Has Poor Read Performance

志林韩 — Fri, 01 Mar 2019 15:33:53 GMT

Hello:

We use NAND Flash : Winbond W29N02GVSIAA, but it has poor read performance.

I did a simple read performance test:

dd if=/dev/mtdblock3 of=/dev/null bs=512 count=200000

200000+0 records in

200000+0 records out

102400000 bytes (97.7MB) copied, 30.378243 seconds, 3.2MB/s

Then I found kernel startup log:

[ 0.415944] nand: Unknown W29N02GV

[ 0.415954] nand: 256MiB, SLC, page size: 2048, OOB size: 64

[ 0.416336] gpmi-nand 112000.gpmi-nand: mode:4 ,failed in set feature.

So I forced the nand to be in EDO mode 4. Then the read speed reached 10.6MB/s

dd if=/dev/mtdblock3 of=/dev/null bs=512 count=200000

200000+0 records in

200000+0 records out

102400000 bytes (97.7MB) copied, 9.188045 seconds, 10.6MB/s

But it's still too slow for us,.

Thanks for anyone could give me some advice to improve the read performance.

We use Linux kernel 3.14.52 and UBIFS.

Hi 志林韩

for log: nand: Unknown W29N02GV - one can check if this particular part has entry in

linux/drivers/mtd/nand/nand_ids.c

nand_ids.c\nand\mtd\drivers - linux-imx - i.MX Linux kernel

Also that nand can have many bad blocks so one can try with new one.

Best regards
igor

Hi igorpadykov

Thanks for your reply.

Does it affect its performance if it is not in the list?
