[U-Boot] SST39VF1601 flash driver

[U-Boot] SST39VF1601 flash driver

[Jerry Zhang]

hello, all!
  I am porting u-boot to my board. I found it is difficult for me to write
the flash driver ( flash.c) of SST39VF1601 by myself. Has anyone ever
written this driver? Would you please give me a guide?


Thanks in advance!

Sure this device has been supported many times (e.g. 
board/esd/common/flash.c). But I suggest to support it now via the legacy 
infrastructure of the common CFI flash driver. Take a look at the board hcu4 
for example:

/* Use common CFI driver */
#define CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI
#define CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
/* board provides its own flash_init code */
#define CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_LEGACY		1
...

You will need to add a definition for the 39VF1601 to 
drivers/mtd/jedec_flash.c though but this shouldn't be too hard.

Best regards,
Stefan
