Description of flash.cfg format for DAF
=======================================
1. each line define one partition
2. maximum number of partitions is 16
3. order of partitions is same like order of lines in the file
4. line format: <partition name> <flags/type> <size> <data filename>
partition name - up to 15 chars, shown in MTD later.
size - can be related to filesize: "filesize", "filesize+10M", "filesize+10b",
or have fixed size: "10M", "100b"
[M - means Megabytes, b - menas blocks (each NAND block is 128kbytes)]
can be "allsize" for auto size partition. 5% added for RW partitions.
flags/type - can be different values:
types:
"ya" - YAFFS2 partition. MAGLDR can show root directory context or read kernel/initrd from it.
"raw" - RAW data.
"yboot" - this partition contains zImage and initrd.gz for kernel boot in YAFFS2 format
"yrecov" - this partition contains zImage and initrd.gz for recovery boot in YAFFS2 format
"rboot" - this partition contains zImage and initrd.gz for kernel boot in RAW (like in native Android devices) format
"rrecov" - this partition contains zImage and initrd.gz for recovery boot in RAW (like in native Android devices) format
flags:
"ro" - disable add extra 5% to partition size and count bad blocks into size
"asize" - auto size. this partition will use all available space after other partitions. only one partition can have this type.
"nospr" - binary data have not spare data. (2048+0 format), otherwise 2048+64 format used.
"nors" - use exactly specified size for partition. no resize is done.
"hr" - this partition must be erased if user select "AD HardReset" in MAGLDR menu.
different flags and types separated via "|" symbol, like "boot|ya|ro",
if more than one flag specified, value of last flag used. \
example: "yboot|rboot", it will be same like "rboot"
Examaple Of file:
boot yboot|ro filesize+2M boot.img
recovery rrecov|ro|nospr filesize recovery-raw.img
system ya filesize system.img
cache ya 40M
userdata ya|asize|hr allsize
this means that nand have 5 partitions (count of lines),
last partition use all available space (allsize),
"AD Hardreset" erase last partition,
regular kernel boot done from YAFFS2 partition,
recovery boot done from RAW partition
