I need to provide a way to update my boot flash from user space. Our user application will download an boot flash image and save it (to a file or a buffer), we must then write the flash. I have seen references in the archives to Denx's drivers/char/amd_flash.c and to MTD drivers, or I can implement my own driver, but I'm not sure of the best (i.e. easiest and cleanest) way. I don't need to put a file system on the flash. All it does is hold the PPCBoot image. The flash part is an AMD 29LV004B and is setup for 8 bit interface. I am running a 2.4.17 kernel on an 8245. Any suggestions? Thanks, Chuck ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
