ECC errors with Samsung NAND K9K8G08U0F on i.MX6UL

Hello,

I'm evaluating 1 GiB Samsung NAND K9K8G08U0F on i.MX6UL under Linux kernel v4.1. This NAND does not support ONFI detection and has embedded ECC controller. The Linux driver assigns the following ECC layout (added debug info):

nand: Could not find valid JEDEC parameter page; aborting
nand: device found, Manufacturer ID: 0xec, Chip ID: 0xd3
nand: Samsung NAND 1GiB 3,3V 8-bit
nand: 1024 MiB, SLC, erase size: 128 KiB, page size: 2048, OOB size: 64
nand_scan_tail()
ecc->strength: 8
ecc->size: 512

I don't know the algorithm by which the driver determines this ECC layout (8-bit/512).

When mounting the UBIFS rootfs however, I get some -74 ECC read errors, followed by kernel traces:

I get the exact same errors on different platforms programmed with the same image, so I assume it's not a physical error but a problem with the writing of the image. I tried programming the image both from U-Boot (using the 8-bit/512 ECC layout) as well as from Linux, but the errors persist.

I also ran the kernel mtd tests but they are not passing correctly:

~# insmod /mtd_nandbiterrs.ko dev=6
mtd_nandbiterrs: error: read failed at 0x0
mtd_nandbiterrs: After 0 biterrors per subpage, read reported error -74
insmod: can't insert '/mtd_nandbiterrs.ko': Input/output error

U-Boot seems to be working fine with this ECC layout (8-bit/512) but for some reason the iMX NAND driver seems to fail with it.

Is anybody using this NAND successfully? Any hint is appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi Hector

I am afraid such nands are not supported by i.mx gpmi/bch driver, as

shown on linux log: "nand: Could not find valid JEDEC parameter page",

since driver expects raw nand with ecc correction applied by external nand controller,

i.mx bch module in the case. May be recommended to apply to NXP Professional Services

to develop appropriate driver
