CONFIG_MTD_PHYSMAP_START

CONFIG_MTD_PHYSMAP_START

[Alex]

As a reference I am supplying relevant
 content of my .config file 
- could someone please pinpoint to me
 what options need to be changed 
or invoked to correct my current problem
(driver interprets 0x04000000 as RAM address for 32Mb DRAM,
with highest address being 0x02000000).

Thanks,

You meant irrelevant.

> CONFIG_MTD_PHYSMAP_START=0x04000801

As explained already, this address is definitely wrong.

Provide relevant information. We are not good in witchcraft and wizardy.

His reply button is broken; his mailer doesn't conform to RFC2822.

Alex, please use a non-broken mailer if you want to use this forum.
Omitting 'Re:' from the subject to get round the automatic filtering
isn't acceptable either. All traffic from you will be trapped for
moderation until I'm sure you are behaving correctly.

The address 0x04000801 is definitely not correct for the physical
address of the start of flash. Consult your board documentation or
schematics and find the correct value.

- it looks that I am in the "chicken" and the "egg" problem ...
According to Thomas (see above), I can not rely on the flash phys start address, given to me "verbotum" - so I can not set the value in .config 
for CONFIG_MTD_PHYSMAP_START ... 
Thomas - in what software you advise me to "decode the values in the registers to get real address values" ? 

Thanks,
Best Regards,
Alex

Would you consider to read TFA ?

Given "verbotum" - I guess you meant verbatim. Some one told you to use
0x000801, which is definitely wrong. Can you please provide the verbatim
information which was given to you ?

You could also point to some valuable information about the board
(vendor, user manual ....)

Again: RTFA
>> I have no datasheet handy, but you should definitely read it :)

The registers are described there. Do you expect that I download the
datasheet and decode this for your conveniance ? I can do so, please
contact me offlist and talk to your manager about a support contract.
