Hi guys.
when I boot my kernel I read:
(DEBUG_CFI enabled as suggestied by Guillaume)
....
physmap platform flash device: 00400001 at 20400000
Number of erase regions: 2
Primary Vendor Command Set: 0002 (AMD/Fujitsu Standard)
No Primary Algorithm Table
Alternative Vendor Command Set: 0000 (None)
No Alternate Algorithm Table
Vcc Minimum: 2.7 V
Vcc Maximum: 3.6 V
No Vpp line
Typical byte/word write timeout: 8 �µs
Maximum byte/word write timeout: 16 �µs
Full buffer write not supported
Typical block erase timeout: 16 ms
Maximum block erase timeout: 32 ms
Typical chip erase timeout: 32 ms
Maximum chip erase timeout: 64 ms
Device size: 0x800000 bytes (8 MiB)
Flash Device Interface description: 0x0001
- x16-only asynchronous interface
Max. bytes in buffer write: 0x1
Number of Erase Block Regions: 2
Erase Region #0: BlockSize 0x1000 bytes, 2048 blocks
Erase Region #1: BlockSize 0x10000 bytes, 128 blocks
physmap-flash: Found 1 x16 devices at 0x0 in 16-bit bank. Manufacturer ID
0x0000bf Chip ID 0x00236c
NOR chip too large to fit in mapping. Attempting to cope...
number of CFI chips: 1
Reducing visibility of 8192KiB chip to 4096KiB

RedBoot partition parsing not available
Using physmap partition information
Creating 3 MTD partitions on "physmap-flash":
0x000000000000-0x000000040000 : "Bootloader"
0x000000040000-0x000000200000 : "Kernel"
0x000000200000-0x000000400001 : "Flash_FS"
mtd: partition "Flash_FS" doesn't end on an erase block -- force read-only
....
when I create my jffs2 FS for my sh2a 7203 uP I execute
mkfs.jffs2 --big-endian --eraseblock=65536 --pad=2097152 --root=$(ROOT_FS) --
output=$(IMAGE_DIR)/sh7203-filesystem.bin
Now: the flash tells me it has 2 erase regions: one with 0x00001000 size, and
another with 0x00010000 size.
With of them I need to specify in my --eraseblock option?
I tried to specify 0x1000 but the make.jffs2 commadn told me that it is too
small size (I'm using ubuntu 10.4 and the mdt-utils coming with it)
Thanks a lot in advance
