Hello zhiming qiu,

Please refer to the following section in drivers/mtd/nand/fsl_ifc_nand.c, please try whether increasing the value of IFC_TIMEOUT_MSECS in drivers/mtd/nand/fsl_ifc_nand.c would be helpful.

       /* wait for command complete flag or timeout */
        wait_event_timeout(ctrl->nand_wait, ctrl->nand_stat,
                           msecs_to_jiffies(IFC_TIMEOUT_MSECS));

        /* ctrl->nand_stat will be updated from IRQ context */
        if (!ctrl->nand_stat)
                dev_err(priv->dev, "Controller is not responding\n");

Thanks,

Yiping

Hello Yiping wang,

We have increased the value of IFC_TIMEOUT_MSECS from 500 to 1000, but It's no use . From the log above, we have two nand flash chips on IFC,but only nand2 have the problem, Do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks，

Hello zhiming qiu,

Please check IFC timing configuration defined in u-boot header file.

Please refer to https://community.nxp.com/docs/DOC-333350 .
