NOR Flash on at91rm9200 status?

[Aras Vaichas]

Andrew,

looking at your Linux-2.6-at91 patch status page it shows:
"NOR Flash  	 unknown  	 ?"

Is this still accurate? I understand that the Cogent boards use NOR Flash with
the at91rm9200. Does that mean the NOR Flash drivers are all working fine, or
do they only work with the Strataflash parts?

I was thinking of a design that used the Toshiba TC58FVM7T5 16MBx8 NOR Flash.
Will I be able to use this part with the Linux kernel?


regards,

Aras Vaichas

The only AT91RM9200-based board I have with NOR flash is an
AT91RM9200-DK.  On that board the flash chips (Atmel AT49BV1614) is not
detected properly - worked fine in 2.4 though.

I haven't had any other reports of NOR flash not working, so I assume it
is something particular with the DK board and/or the AT49BV1614.
