I also have two banks mapped contiguously into virtual memory that I would
like to be seen as one.
The problem is that RedBoot (and ECOS) seems to only support one flash
logical device. I wrote an ECOS flash driver that treated both banks as a
single large logical device. RedBoot stores its partition table in the last
erase
block of the device. So in my case, a single partition table is store in the
last
erase block of the second bank but partitions the space of both banks.
When I get to the linux, mtd seems to expect a partition table for each bank.
What is the best way to reconcile the problem?
Can linux also easily see both banks as a single device that can be partitioned?

If the addressing between two Flash devices remains linear with no gaps,
can they be part of the same mtd[n] partition, or must the next chip be
mtd[n+1]?
I have two 32-bit Flash devices (or so I'm told). Since this is a MIPS
application the
reset vector is 0xBFC00000. The Flash devices are 0xBE000000-BEFFFFFF and
0xBF000000-BFFFFFFF, so I have 4Megs at the top of the second device, with
the
first device and lower 12Megs of the second giving me 28Megs of linear Flash
available.
