Hi Aaron,

Does this patch (originally by Stefan Roese) work for you? I also need
it for the DNS323 port. FWIW, mine is also a Spansion flash
(S29GL064M90TFIR4), although I am not 100% sure of the layout and
connectivity.

I don't think that will work. Multiplying the offsets by two won't
always work (i.e. offset 2AA * 2 != 555). I think this will require a
more substantial fix. I started working on something but it may take me
a few days, though I have both an 8-bit and a 16-bit board to play with
(though no 8-bit chip on a 16-bit bus).

I have it working on our 8-bit boards properly now, though I've only done some 
limited testing.

I basically put in the correct addresses into cfi_flash.h and updated various 
addresses for 8-bit support. The problem was that the CFI code was written 
using the 16-bit addresses which don't work for an 8-bit bus.

I added a mask which is used to calculate the correct address for 16 and 32-
bit busses. I have only been able to test with 8-bit and 16-bit Spansion 
devices though.

Please post the patch on the list. I'll try to test it on some of my systems 
as well.

Thanks.

Hi Aaron,

I'm happy to test it, when you post the patch.

Regards,

Rogan
Aaron Williams March 26, 2011, 6:32 a.m. UTC | #5
I am still doing some testing and just added a fix today so that if a flash 
chip that supports both 8 and 16-bits is on an 8-bit bus the interface is set 
to 8-bits. I'll try and get patches out next week.

So far it's working fairly well on all of our boards, most of which have an 8-
bit bus but one has a 16-bit bus. I had to change all of the defined addresses 
for AMD parts and calculate the 16 and 32-bit addresses by applying a mask.

The CFI code *should* work if there's an 8-bit part on a 16-bit bus, but it 
probably will not support two 8-bit parts in parallel. That should be doable 
with some work.

Hi Aaron,

I'm looking forward to seeing your patches. With any luck, they'll also
work on my board, and a nasty hack can go away. :-)

I also would like to see these patches, even in RFC form. Maybe it could 
fix the way the MX29LV400CB is detected on ED Mini V2 and will allows 
removing legacy code for this board.

I'll post the patches as soon as I figure out how to get git to do it.

The patches are fairly clean and works well for both an 8-bit bus and a 16-bit 
bus.

My biggest obstical is that I'm not all that familiar with GIT and we use SVN 
internally.
