Hi all,
I´m using a compatible AMD Flash D-Series 4MB PCMCIA Card from Kingmax
(http://www.tecsys.de/memory_frame.htm)
I want to erase it blockwise or whole card and write to it adresswise as
a raw device.
The tool "wrflash" (http://www.telos.de/download/default_e.htm#alios (in
alios_source)) is designed for this purpose but crashes because of a
segmentation fault. The same with ftl_format (only for testing)
The card is recognized by linux (cardctl info, cardctl ident, ftl_check
/dev/mem0c0c).
Other PCMCIA-Cards (CompactFlash with Adapter, Adaptec-SCSI) work fine.
I use SuSE Linux 7.2 (standard SUSE Kernel 2.4.4 / cardmgr 3.1.25)
Can you provide some information?
Thanks in advance
Alexander

PCMCIA cards aren't yet supported by the Linux MTD code, they're still
driven by the original PCMCIA flash code. It shouldn't be too difficult for
you to make a proper MTD driver, and then you ought to be able to use
PCMCIA flash just like any other flash devices.
