So it is possible that one board has a 4MB flash and a 8MB flash bank with different size of sectors. Also the flash is not linear mapped. I will say there are holes between the 4MB and the 8MB chips. What I wish to do is to use this flash as one virtual MTD so that I can place a filesystem on both chips. I'm looking for things like LVM or Softraid what only support striping in the MTD-Driver. Also it should be simple enough that the bootloader can handle this. Has anyone thought about this problem, maybe there is a ready to run solution :-)) Regards, Frank -- Dipl.-Ing.
