Dear Qi Wang ?? (qiwang),

I understand you attempt to copy data between two different areas on
the same NOR device?  This is not supported.

Thanks, but NAK.

If the source address range and the target address range are both in
the same NOR flash device, please use a two step approach instead:
first copy the data to RAM, then copy from RAM to NOR.

No code changes are needed for this.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
