Hello,

I have discovered some problems with the strataflash memory and resets 
on our board (strongarm assabet clone), 
and after looking in this file I discovered that after erasing and
writing, the
state of the chips are left in FL_STATUS. 

Which in our case results in the status is output after reset if it
happens before any reads from flash.

Is there a reason not to enter read array mode / FL_READY.

Best regards

Stefan Thomasson

You cloned an Assabet - and you didn't fix the fact that in a fit of
stupidity they didn't bother to connect the reset line to the flash chips?

I have no sympathy for you :)

Yes, we could make the flash drivers leave the chips in state FL_READY more 
often. No, it wouldn't make it robust - only slightly less likely to break.
