| − | In order to get UBI and UBI GLUE driver working you need to enable them in kernel configuration. In kernel configuration choose '''"Device Drivers -> Memory Technology Device (MTD) support -> UBI - Unsorted block images"''' menu and enable '''"Enable UBI"''' and '''"Emulate MTD devices"''' options.

| |
| − | Now you can build the kernel with UBI support including the UBI GLUE driver.

| − | In this section we will use {{parameter|X}} as the MTD partition number attached to UBI, {{parameter|Y}} as the emulated MTD partition number and we assume that there were no MTD partitions attached to UBI before. <br>
| |
| − | To prepare the NAND for use with UBI, you should take the following steps:
| |
| − | * Erase the MTD partition that will be used for UBI volume(s):
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | > flash_eraseall /dev/mtdX
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | * Attach the MTD partition to UBI:
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | > ubiattach /dev/ubi_ctrl -m X -O 2048
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | * Create UBI volume:
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | > ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -m -N <ubi volume name>
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | * Update the new UBI volume with JFFS2 image:
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | > ubiupdatevol /dev/ubi0_0 <path to JFFS2 image>
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | If you want to use the new UBI volume as the root filesystem on your device, you should change the {{parameter|root}} parameter of kernel command line to boot from emulated
| |
| − | MTD partition '''Y''' (which is UBI volume):
| |
| − | '''root=/dev/mtdblockY''' and add '''ubi.mtd=X,2048''' parameter, so the MTD partition containing the new UBI volume will be attached on kernel boot prior to root filesystem mount.

| − | == JFFS2 image eraseblock size ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | UBI layer is using some part of NAND's ''physical'' erase block for it's own needs (e.g. bad blocks handling), therefore it provides a ''logical'' eraseblock for filesystem use. The logical eraseblock size is smaller than the physical, so when you construct the JFFS2 image, as described in section [[Linux_Development_for_XScale_modules#JFFS2_images|JFFS2 images]], you should set the {{parameter|eraseblock}} parameter to UBI's logical eraseblock size. <br> | |
| − | The UBI logical eraseblock size can be obtained by invoking the command:
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | > cat /sys/class/ubi/ubiX/eraseblock_size
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | Where {{parameter|X}} is the UBI device number.
