[U-Boot-Users] problems about flash setting

[wang cheng]

dear all!
sorry ,but i really don't understand.
1.What's the meaning of flash memory banks,is the number of flash 
chips? ie:if i have 2 chips of 29f040s on my board,then the 
CFG_MAX_FLASH_BANKS should be 2,right? 
2.What's the meaning of FLASH_BASE0_PRELIM  and FLASH_BASE1_PRELIM, 
Is the  FLASH_BASE0_PRELIM should be set to the flash_base_addr that 
defined by cs0? Then what about flash_base1_prelim? 
3.What's the difference between br/or_prelim  and br/or_remap and their 
respective function ??Is the br/or_remap must be set  or optional 
depended on my board?
Thanks very much for any help!

Did you try searching the archives?

No. Maybe.

No - a bank of flash memory is what gets accesses using one  specific
chip select line.

Maybe - it depens how your flash is organised - 4 chips can  be  just
one bank of memory, for example if you use 4 chips of 8 bit to form a
32 bit wode bus.

These are the base addresses for the first and the second flash  bank
as  used  by the preliminary mappings. See the README, section System
Initialization.

See the README.
