Hello,
it is not particularly helpful if you ask others for help and give
misleading and/or false information. The link you provided leads to an Atmel
4 MBIT chip (=512 KBytes), which indeed can only be erased in whole
(optionally excluding a small boot region which IS too small to hold
U-Boot).
This Chip has neither 32MB nor 256 Sectors at 128K each...
After using up 128 KBytes or so for U-Boot, what do you intend to do with
the Rest of 384 KBytes?? Put in a LinuX Kernel?? That won't fit at all!
Are you really sure THAT old chip is on the board? Would not make any sense
for a newer design...
Regards Reinhard
