As of now i am not able to mount the flash.
The flash is formatted to FAT16 in windows with only one partition.
Can i mount it in linux.?
Sure you can mount it,
mount -t msdos /dev/xsysace1 /mnt/fat16
You also need to enable the option to mount fat16 partitions in your
kernel configuration under "File Sytems" if it has not already been
enabled.

The device name is /dev/xsysace as you could see in the fdisk command
line .
I have tried with both xsysace and xsysace1. The output is as follows:
root@local xilinx_sysace]#mount -t msdos /dev/xsysace1 /mnt/fat16
mount: special device /dev/xsysace1 does not exist
root@local xilinx_sysace]#
root@local xilinx_sysace]#
[root@local xilinx_sysace]# mount -t msdos /dev/xsysace /mnt/fat16
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/xsysace,
or too many mounted file systems
[root@local xilinx_sysace]#
I could see the msdos and vfat support in "lsmod"
[root@local root]# lsmod
Module Size Used by Tainted: GF
msdos 8140 0 (autoclean)
vfat 13132 0 (autoclean)
fat 38744 0 (autoclean) [msdos vfat]
ace 19828 0
Pl help me .
Thanks
Sudheer
