Hi all, Can anyone out there help? I'm in the process of designing an Au1100 based board and this question has both hardware and software aspects. I've arranged for a pair of Spansion S29GL256N 256Mbit flash roms to be connected to the Au1100 static bus. These devices are each 16bits wide and are connected to upper and lower halves of the 32 bit static bus at an address such that the boot code can reside in them. After boot, we want to use the remainder of the devices as flash disk using one of the wear leveling file systems. Each flash chip implements the Common Flash Memory Interface standard, but as they are arranged as 32 bits wide the devices are effectively interleaved. Can Linux support this arrangement? If not, what do other folks do? I think I could arrange the flash chips as 32M x 16 rather than 16M x 32 and force the CPU to boot from 16 bit wide ROM using the ROMSIZE pin on the Au1100. There is obviously a significant performance loss in doing this. Finally, this email is not confidential and is for all Linux-Mips addressees. Regards and thanks, Martin Nichols. ### OXFORD INSTRUMENTS http://www.oxford-instruments.com/ ### Unless stated above to be non-confidential, this E-mail and any attachments are private and confidential and are for the addressee only and may not be used, copied or disclosed save to the addressee.
