nf_eraseBlock

int nf_eraseBlock( nf_device * dev, long page );

Description

Erases the block that contains the specified page on the specified NAND flash device. Check for completion of the erase operation using either nf_isBusyRBHW() or nf_isBusyStatus().

Normally, this function will not allow a bad block to be erased. However, when NFLASH_CANERASEBADBLOCKS is defined by the application, the bad block check is not performed, and the application is allowed to erase any block, regardless of whether it is marked good or bad.

Parameters

dev

Pointer to an initialized nf_device structure

page

Page specifies the zero-based number of a NAND flash page in the block to be erased, relative to the first "good" page.

Return value

 0: Success, or the first error result encountered
-1: NAND flash device is busy
-2: Block check time out error
-3: Page is in a bad block

Library

NFLASH.LIB (This function was introduced in Dynamic C 9.01)
