George-

Those two added lines do look good.  It would be handy to have access to the
second chip of user flash.  Do you think it would be good to add some kind
of support for the AMD boot flash?  It claims to be CFI compliant, though
tracking it as it moves through the memory map as the DIP switches are
changed would be a bit tough.  Perhaps if we updated the config file with
#define's for the DIP switch settings, and based on that, it reasons out the
correct memory settings for you?

It seems to work ok for me. How about adding this:

FWIW, I'm having problems running U-Boot CVS HEAD on Innovator/OMAP1510
lately.
The target hangs during early init. I haven't figured out what's wrong but
I'm
only able to use U-Boot CVS HEAD on Innovator/OMAP1510 while the BDI2000 is
connected. If I disconnect the BDI2000, the darn target hangs during early
init. Unfortunately I've no time to debug the early hang problem. But that
problem is independent from your CFI patch anyway.

Thanks!

Attached is a patch that makes the omap1510inn board use the
drivers/cfi_flash.c flash driver.

NOTE to Wolfgang:  This patch is NOT for CVS yet.

Instead, it is for testing by other people to make sure this looks like a
good change to make to this board configuration.  If reports are positive, I
will submit a patch for real.

Sounds agreeable. Just submit it and we can all give it a try. : )

I'm sure he's probably still around but probably quite busy.

I'll give it a try.

Please do send a patch.

Agreed, it sounds good to me to use the common flash driver when/where
possible.

FWIW, the OMAP1610 H2 uses Intel L18 flash parts. I'm not sure if the
common cfi_flash.c driver supports this part yet.

George-

Mostly I was interested in seeing if he would be interested in submitting a
patch to the omap1510inn board to use the driver/cfi_flash.c driver.  I
tested that configuration in developing my recent patch for the file, and
found it worked quite well.  I certainly can't complain about writing to
flash about 10x as fast as before.

If Kshitij is no longer around, and others are interested in trying it out,
I can make a patch for the modifications I made to that board configuration.
I don't see a reason to stick with the non-central, slow flash writing code
for omap1510inn if a better option is available.

I'm casually aquainted with the OMAP1610 H2 and Innovator/OMAP1510.

What's the problem?

> or does anyone know of a new way to contact Kshitij?

Perhaps you can ask questions about those boards here and he or someone
else may answer eventually? I'm sure he is just as busy as the rest us are.

Wolfgang-

It appears that Kshitij Gupta, the maintainer for the omap1510inn &
omap1610inn, is no longer reachable at his email address listed in the
MAINTAINERS file.  Is there anyone else that has been closely associated
with this board, or does anyone know of a new way to contact Kshitij?
