[U-Boot-Users] supported flashes?

[Bastos Fernandez Alexandre <ALEBAS@televes.com>]

Hi to all,

It's the first time I write to this list.
I am involved now in a new design based the MPC8272 processor.
I have choosen U-boot as my booter am by now I am trying to select the flash
memory, so I have to determine which are supported.

And this is not very easy, because I couldn't find any doc related to
hardware support. I have looked at the code and I found lots of files about
flash support. In particular:

 drivers/cfi_flash.c
 board/mpc8260ads/flash.c
 common/flash.c
 common/env_flash.c

I have concluded that cfi_flash.c gives support for all those flashes which
implements the JEDEC CFI interface with AMD or Intel command sets, and
mpc8260ads/flash.c gives support for the flash in the ADS board (which is
not CFI at all).
Am I wrong? What about the other files? Is there anywhere a list of
supported flashes?

In conclusion, can i suppose that any CFI flash with the appropriate command
set will be supported by u-boot.

Thanks to all
