I was pointing out a well laid out webpage that describes what CFI is and provides the spec for it. If you want to link directly to jedec, ok. And no, I don't work at Intel, own stock in it, or know of them giving out free hardware on a regular basis. I do happen to like what Intel is doing in regards to opening their drivers, but that has nothing to do with this :). josh ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 12+ messages in thread
