| 7 | Small Page NAND |
| 8 | --------------- |
| 9 | |
| 10 | The driver uses a 512 byte (1 page) ECC code for this setup. The |
| 11 | ECC code is not directly compatible with the default kernel ECC |
| 12 | code, so the driver enforces its own OOB layout and ECC parameters |
| 13 | |
| 14 | Large Page NAND |
| 15 | --------------- |
| 16 | |
| 17 | The driver is capable of handling NAND flash with a 2KiB page |
| 18 | size, with support for hardware ECC generation and correction. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | Unlike the 512byte page mode, the driver generates ECC data for |
| 21 | each 256 byte block in an 2KiB page. This means that more than |
| 22 | one error in a page can be rectified. It also means that the |
| 23 | OOB layout remains the default kernel layout for these flashes. |
