Intel Flash

[Kári Davíðsson]

Hi,

I believe that the problem you are seeing is
that the device is using cmdset 0x0003, which
is close to cmdset 0x0001. Cmdset 0x0001 is 
supported by mtd so a quick and not so dirty
fix is to add the following two lines in 
cfi_probe.c, function cfi_cfi_probe(),

if(cfi.cfiq->P_ID == 3)
	cfi.fgiq->P_ID = 1;

after the two lines (around line 343)

/* Do any necessary byteswapping */
cfi.cfiq->P_ID = le16_to_cpu(cfi.cfiq->P_ID);

Hope this helps,

K.D.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This is the part #. You can ignore the rest of the stuff.
Go to www.intel.com and download the datasheet on this part and see if
it is a
CFI compatable NOR flash or not.

If not CFI, but is NOR, then try to use the JDEC module, rather than the
CFI
module. If Not NOR (i.e. if NAND)
then I don't know.

Hope this helps.

P.S. This is really a MTD issue and you will probably have more luck
posting
to that list. I've CC to that list if you
need the email.
