Hi,
I completely agree with Rutgers opinion about his development of eCos
NAND support.
(http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-maintainers/2009-05/msg00011.html).
I think the situation is very disappointing for him.
He invested a lot of work and time, he made his project public very
early and he carefully designed the NAND flash IO and device layers.
Because his work was public from the beginning, anyone could contribute,
criticize or help. At the moment his implementation is the only one I
know in detail and the only one that is public accessible. Furthermore
its NAND framework is already used and known by other eCos community
members. So at the moment I tend to say, Rutgers implementation is the
current eCos NAND framework.
I think before we decide if some parts of eCosCentrics NAND
implementation can be used, we should carefully check both
implementations and discuss pros and cons. To do this we would need
public access to the eCosCentric NAND implementation as soon as possible.
Furthermore I would like to know from eCosCentric in some short words,
why their NAND implementation/design is better than Rutgers
implementation. If this is not relizable within some days, we should
stay with Rutgers implementation to get working NAND support as fast as
possible.
