imx8mq android mount spi flash error

pyh0603 — Wed, 26 Jul 2023 09:44:35 GMT

Hello,

Release: android_p11.0.0_2.6.0

Board: i.MX8MQ based custom board

I am currently debugging SPI FLASH and there is already a device file in the file system:

evk_8mq:/ #

evk_8mq:/ # ls /dev/mtd*

/dev/mtd0 /dev/mtd0ro

evk_8mq:/ #

And the block device has already been registered:

evk_8mq:/ #

evk_8mq:/ # ls /dev/block/mtdblock0

/dev/block/mtdblock0

evk_8mq:/ #

My steps:

Step 1: Create jffs2.img

Using the command on ubuntu to create jffs2.img:

sudo mkfs.jffs2- s 0x100 -e 0x10000 -p 0x1AF0000 -d jffs2_rootfs/ -o jffs2.img

The SPI flash model I am using is MT25QL256ABA1EW7, with a block size of 64K and a page size of 256 bytes

Then transfer jffs2.img to the path of Android:

adb push jffs2.img/data

step 2：convert /dev/mtd0 to jff2

./busybox flash_eraseall -j /dev/mtd0

Step 4: Mount/dev/block/mtdblock0 to /mnt/mtd

mount - t jffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /mnt/mtd

But the error is as follows:

[ 474.113521][ T1757] jffs2: Further such events for this erase block will not be printed

[ 474.122219][ T1757] jffs2: Node at 0x00069fdc with length 0x00000144 would run over the end of the erase block

How can I solve the problem of mounting errors?
Also: I noticed that there is a tool called mtd utils, but it is only available in the Linux version. Is there an Android version available for use? I have been unable to use Makefile after successful cross compilation.

Hello @pyh0603,

I hope you are doing well

These filesystem-related errors might cause due to several reasons.

->The issue occurs because the JFFS2 filesystem is configured with an incorrect erase block size.

->The issue could be due to a buggy driver which reads trash instead of valid data.

->There are chances that the issue is in the JFFS2 image.

For the query related to mtd-utils, kindly try the same on Android 13 and share the result.

Thanks & Regards,
Sanket Parekh
