Subject: Raw Flash Writes
Date: Fri, 20 Aug 2004 17:39:08 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <s126375d.036@EMAIL> (raw)
Greetings all,
My system has the flash interleaved to give me an effective sector
size of 256kB;
A write to an entire erased sector of flash causes my kernel to crash,
however the writes to the same in smaller chunks with a small delay
seems to work fine.
Is there some sort of limit in "write-chuck" size or any timeout placed
on a write operation considering that it is "synced". If so how can
this be modified ?
I've also tried to "cat 256k_file > /dev/mtd4", this too drives my
kernel crazy.
Any and all help appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
-raghav-
