I understood that you READ the tuning pattern:
"PHY tuning requires a known data pattern to be readable from flash."
Now you write "to store PHY tuning pattern".

I am confused and I still don't understand what would happen if you have
two flash memories on a bus with each having a partition.


Best regards,
