ZFMicro MachZ success with the Am29LV065D

[Luke]

Howdy,

I am trying to mount part of the flash0 device right now as I don't want to mount the portion that
has my bios or initrd or kernel - this "looks" straightforward for the ZFMicro but I am getting
some interesting errors.  I will work on messing with the second physical flash device later.

in the ZFL registers space I set
    MemWindow0 window size to 500000h (I want a 5 Mbyte section mounted)
    MemWindow0 page address to 1c0000h (the initrd and kernel are below this)
    MemWindow0 base address to 10000000h (this will be mapped at 256Mbyte in the
                                          physical memory space - above any SDRAM
                                          conflicts)

As I have it right now, linux loads and I see:

physmap flash device: 500000 at 10000000
Physically mapped flash: Found 1 x8 devices at 0x0 in 8-bit mode
 Amd/Fujitsu Extended Query Table v1.1 at 0x0040
number of CFI chips: 1
mtd: Giving out device 0 to Physically mapped flash

and if I cat /proc/mtd I see
dev:      size        erasesize          name
mtd0    00800000      00010000        "physically mapped flash"

should this size still be 8 Mbytes?  That is the physical size of the flash but I should be
mapping only part of the flash.

When I try to mount mtdblock0 I get the following (I made a directory /mnt/mtd before the next
line):

# mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock0 /mnt/mtd
mtdblock_open
ok

(this continues erasing 64k chunks at a time until)

----
any ideas on what to try?  I am using the standard "physmap" driver and the mtd stuff in kernel
2.4.8-ac7.

Thanks,
Luke
