You would write 0 to a register and you don't know what can result of this action. That's what I was thinking of. I suppose that it is very, very unlikely that another chip would be in that address range, pass two id checks and is *not* what you thought it was. However, I think we will stick to our detection policy and not write anything to the chip (which means we only detect the chip if a the bank is 0 at start). We could improve things a bit and detect it with a lower confidence value if the bank is 1 or 2. > thanks for the url, will save that. Note that the text isn't there yet.

We have few board specific configurations, but some comments are very interesting. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
