Hi Kevin, I don't have the new h/w yet so I don't know how the Flash will react. In the mem map of the new board I see Flash at 0x1c000000 where MALTA Linux probes for spram and my job so far is to port Linux for the new board. So, I understand from your email that spram probing will not mess up with my Flash and I should ignore it. Thanks, Andrei -----Original Message----- From: Kevin D.

I find it hard to believe that you've got Flash responding in place of the CP0 cache tag registers.
