NFC Register Guide

= NAND Flash Controller = Warning, default values where obtained using mtest in u-boot. They all kept reading 0, no matter what was written to them. So it could be write only or otherwise. Q: Could it possible that you're reading while NFC is disabled?

Spare area
Each page data write will cause a spare area data write if hardware ECC is enabled. Sometimes the page is more than 1K, so it needs multiple times to write a page. The spare area will also be written with ECC data muliple times sequencely. One time a data write op will write 4 Byte user data stored at NFC_USER_DATA(i) following ECC data whose length depending on the ECC mode.

Random Seed
The controller includes a randomizer that scrambles the data to avoid large islands of the same charge. During boot the randomizer is initialized by the BROM to 0x4a80 and thus the SPL is expected to be randomized as such. Currently, boot[01] and stock kernels use the following randomized values, it is formed by page number % 128 index into static const unsigned short random_seed[128] = { 0x2b75, 0x0bd0, 0x5ca3, 0x62d1, 0x1c93, 0x07e9, 0x2162, 0x3a72, 0x0d67, 0x67f9, 0x1be7, 0x077d, 0x032f, 0x0dac, 0x2716, 0x2436, 0x7922, 0x1510, 0x3860, 0x5287, 0x480f, 0x4252, 0x1789, 0x5a2d, 0x2a49, 0x5e10, 0x437f, 0x4b4e, 0x2f45, 0x216e, 0x5cb7, 0x7130, 0x2a3f, 0x60e4, 0x4dc9, 0x0ef0, 0x0f52, 0x1bb9, 0x6211, 0x7a56, 0x226d, 0x4ea7, 0x6f36, 0x3692, 0x38bf, 0x0c62, 0x05eb, 0x4c55, 0x60f4, 0x728c, 0x3b6f, 0x2037, 0x7f69, 0x0936, 0x651a, 0x4ceb, 0x6218, 0x79f3, 0x383f, 0x18d9, 0x4f05, 0x5c82, 0x2912, 0x6f17, 0x6856, 0x5938, 0x1007, 0x61ab, 0x3e7f, 0x57c2, 0x542f, 0x4f62, 0x7454, 0x2eac, 0x7739, 0x42d4, 0x2f90, 0x435a, 0x2e52, 0x2064, 0x637c, 0x66ad, 0x2c90, 0x0bad, 0x759c, 0x0029, 0x0986, 0x7126, 0x1ca7, 0x1605, 0x386a, 0x27f5, 0x1380, 0x6d75, 0x24c3, 0x0f8e, 0x2b7a, 0x1418, 0x1fd1, 0x7dc1, 0x2d8e, 0x43af, 0x2267, 0x7da3, 0x4e3d, 0x1338, 0x50db, 0x454d, 0x764d, 0x40a3, 0x42e6, 0x262b, 0x2d2e, 0x1aea, 0x2e17, 0x173d, 0x3a6e, 0x71bf, 0x25f9, 0x0a5d, 0x7c57, 0x0fbe, 0x46ce, 0x4939, 0x6b17, 0x37bb, 0x3e91, 0x76db };
