Hello,
I am curently working on to include to MTD support for a mips based
platform. I am using Intel Starta flash TE28F128J3 ( 16 MB ) and it
used in 16 bit mode.
Physical address of the flash = 0x1c000000
Size = 0x1000000
When I included the MTD support through the menuconfig and enabled the
debug level 3, I am getting the following messages.
I am able to create the device using mknod /dev/mtd0 c 90 0.
Issue:
Even though the debug output looks fine ( pl correct me if I am worng
) , it looks to me that the cfi commands are not getting into the
flash. Because the base address is 0x0. The base address is used for
sending commands to the flash. It is referenced in the file
file: cfi_cmdset0001.c
function: cfi_cmdset_0001
variable name: __u32 base = cfi->chips[0].start
Should this base address be other than 0?
Please let me know ?
Also do let me know if I need to apply patches for the 2.6.6 kernel
for the MTD support?
Looking forward to hear from you.
Regards
G.Muruganandam
