Restore to mtd partitions

Hi
I have some files and I want to write in mtd partitions.

My files name are:
- BOOT.bin
- devicetree.dtb
- rootfs.jffs2
- uImage

How can I do it?
These images has a .sh file to install.
here is the code:

if [ -e BOOT.bin ]; then
        flash_erase /dev/mtd0 0x0 0x80 >/dev/null 2>&1
        nandwrite -p -s 0x0 /dev/mtd0 ./BOOT.bin >/dev/null 2>&1
        rm -rf BOOT.bin
    fi

    if [ -e devicetree.dtb ]; then
        flash_erase /dev/mtd0 0x1020000 0x1 >/dev/null 2>&1
        nandwrite -p -s 0x1020000 /dev/mtd0 ./devicetree.dtb >/dev/null 2>&1
        rm devicetree.dtb
    fi

    if [ -e uImage ]; then 
      flash_erase /dev/mtd0 0x1100000 0x40 >/dev/null 2>&1
      nandwrite -p -s 0x1100000 /dev/mtd0 ./uImage >/dev/null 2>&1
      rm uImage
    fi

    if [ -e rootfs.jffs2 ]; then
      if [ -f /dev/mtd3 ];then
          flash_erase /dev/mtd2 0x0 0x1E0 >/dev/null 2>&1
      else
          flash_erase /dev/mtd2 0x0 0x280 >/dev/null 2>&1
      fi
      nandwrite -p -s 0x0 /dev/mtd2 ./rootfs.jffs2 >/dev/null 2>&1
      rm rootfs.jffs2
    fi

When I want to run "flash_erase /dev/mtd0 0x0 0x80"
I get this error:

libmtd: error!: "/dev/mtd0" is not a character device
flash_erase: error!: mtd_get_dev_info failed

How can I do it?
thanks

Which box is it? Please post a boot log, or dmesg.

And then in Debian, Arch, ... whichever Linux distro you are running in this box:

cat /proc/mtd
cat /etc/fw_env.config
fw_printenv

Thanks for reply
I solved above problem.

Now how can I view content?
Can I view directory and folders in images files? or /dev/mtd0 content?

abp,

You did not answer my quesions above, so it is a little bit diffifult to show you how.

In Linux you could mount the file system which is currently on a flash partition. Some flash partitions don't have any file sysem.

These are raw images

- BOOT.bin
- devicetree.dtb
- uImage

This has JFFS2 file system on it

- rootfs.jffs2

To mount rootfs.jffs2 image as a disk partition, you need the host Linux kernel that has builtin supports for JFFS2 (such as this). And then use a couple commands to prepare and mount that. After is is mounted, it is just like any USB/HDD drive partition.

Mount JFFS2 file system from Linux.

This requires that the kernel has these capabilities:

- JFFS2 supports, either as a builtin or loadable kernel module.
- mtdblock supports, either as a builtin or loadable kernel module.

Assuming mtd2 contains a JFFS2 file system.

mkdir /tmp/pogoroot
mknod /dev/mtdblock2 b 31 2
mount -t jffs2 -o ro /dev/mtdblock2 /tmp/pogoroot/

And then you can cd to it as a normal partition:

cd /tmp/pogoroot/

I want to mount these image to my ubuntu (My system) and next view image content and directories and folders.

How can I do it?

Next to these files, was an install file (.sh file)

I attached this file.

Please help me to do it.

Thanks

abp,

Usually, on Ubuntu system you would have JFFS2 configured in as loadable module. To verify this take several steps.

You need to figure out which config file is appropriate to look at:

uname -a

And assuming that your current Ubuntu kernel is

4.15.0-52-generic

Then you would do:

grep -i jffs2 /boot/config-4.15.0-52-generic

And the output would say something like:

CONFIG_JFFS2_FS=m
....
...

Now knowing that JFFS2 is a loadable module in your Ubuntu kernel, you would modprobe it:

modprobe jffs2

And then verify that it was loaded:

lsmod | grep -i jffs2

And then mount the mtd like I've showed before.

When I run this command: (uname -a)
I get this message:
Linux abp-pc 5.0.0-29-generic #31~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Sep 12 18:29:21 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

and when I run (grep -i jffs2 /boot/config-4.15.0-52-generic) I get this message:
grep: /boot/config-4.15.0-52-generic: No such file or directory

What is the problem? please

Linux abp-pc 5.0.0-29-generic #31~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Sep 12 18:29:21 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Means your kernel is 5.0.0-29-generic. So the command is

grep -i jffs2 /boot/config-5.0.0-29-generic
