I have a PPC440GX based board. Do I need to reinitialize Peripheral Bank Configuration Registers (EBC0_B0CR-EBC0_B7CR) from the kernel ? I'm quite sure that we don't, but just want to make sure. Because the problem that i'm seeing strongly suggest that it's probably not accessible. Here's the problem, i'm getting "kernel access of bad area" when i erase any of the upper 64mb out of 128mb flash region, surprisingly i can easily erase (all of the flash) from u-boot. which makes me ask the earlier question. any insights welcome. thanks ! -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-embedded" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
