Re: Problems with cfi_cmdset_0002.c

Wouldn't it be possible to check both the bootloc and the erase regions and
do something like this? :

(Haven't looked in the code how the cfi structure is typed etc. and may be
totally
out when it comes to what the problem is, but you'll probably get the idea)

flip_cfi_table = 0;
if (bootloc == CFI_TOP_BOOT){
  /* We expect the small regions at the top */
  if (EraseRegionInfo[0].size <
       EraseRegionInfo[cfi->cfiq->NumEraseRegions-1].size){
    flip_cfi_table = 1;
 } else if (bootloc == CFI_BOTTOM_BOOT){
  /* We expect the small regions at the bottom */
  if (EraseRegionInfo[0].size >
       EraseRegionInfo[cfi->cfiq->NumEraseRegions-1].size){
    flip_cfi_table = 1;
 }

 if (flip_cfi_table){
   /* Flip the damn thing */
  ...
}
