I'm trying to create an operating system that works with UBIFS on SPI Nor flash. I used buildroot. Buildroot created rootfs.ubi and rootfs.ubifs therefore I didn't create any ubifs.img(I thought don't need it). I didn't take any error when compile buildroot.
Buildroot output files:
- rootfs.ubi
- rootfs.ubifs
- sun5i-a13.dtb
- u-boot.bin
- u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin
- uImage
Write output file to SPI Nor Flash:
#!/bin/bash
DIR="/home/ubuntu/buildroot-spi-nor/output/images"
sudo sunxi-fel -v -p \
spiflash-write 0x0 ${DIR}/u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin \
spiflash-write 0xE0000 ${DIR}/sun5i-a13.dtb \
spiflash-write 0x100000 ${DIR}/uImage \
spiflash-write 0x600000 ${DIR}/rootfs.ubi \
uboot ${DIR}/u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin
U-boot configs:
BOOTARGS = ubi.mtd=3 rootfstype=ubifs rw rootwait rootfs=/dev/mtdblock3 loglevel=9
BOOTCOMMAND = run distro_bootcmd;sspi;sf probe;sf read 0x43000000 0xE0000 0x4000;sf read 0x42000000 0x100000 0x2F0000;bootm 0x42000000 - 0x43000000;
MTDIDS_DEFAULT = nor0=spi0.0
MTDPARTS_DEFAULT = mtdparts=spi0.0:0x000E0000(boot),0x00020000(dtb),0x00400000(kernel),0x00a00000(rootfs)
Part of SPI flash of .dts file:
&spi0 {
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <&spi0_pins_a>, <&spi0_cs0_pins_a>;
status = "okay";
flash@0 {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <1>;
compatible = "mxicy,mx25l12805d", "jedec,spi-nor";
spi-max-frequency = <1000000>;
reg = <0>;
mode = <0>;
partition@0 {
label = "bootloader";
reg = <0x0 0xE0000>;
// read-only;
};
partition@E0000 {
label = "dtb";
reg = <0xE0000 0x20000>;
// read-only;
};
partition@100000 {
label = "kernel";
reg = <0x100000 0x500000>;
};
partition@600000 {
label = "rootfs";
reg = <0x600000 0xA00000>;
};
};
};
I have 4 mdt partition and I strive mount ubifs to rootfs partition.
After writing rootfs.ubifs to 0x400000 adress of SPI Nor Flash Dmesg output

Buildroot version: 2020.02.11
U-boot version: U-Boot 2021.04-rc3
Kernel version: 5.12.0-rc3
It will be a very general question, but how can I mount and mount rootfs and ubifs and run the system?
Thanks.
Try modifying command sunxi-fel
And dts file
