I have a custom Xilinx FPGA board which is similar to ML300 but uses
Uartllite and does not have disk or display.
When I start the Linux kernel I end up with an exception during the probe
for Flash - I think.
I have added a bunch of printk lines in order to see what is happening but I
am a little stuck at the moment.
The Flash chip is an AM29LV320D 4Mbyte in 16-bit access mode, and it sits on
address 0xFF80'0000
This is what I get on my terminal. I would be happy to hear your advice.
Peter
