[U-Boot-Users] Generalized dataflash interface

[Finn Nielsen]

Hello All,

New to the list by the way.

Does anyone have a recommendation on how to add general support for 
Atmel Dataflash, using generalized access routines (a driver) - and then 
what about the existing Atmel AT91xxx specific code ?
I guess one would need to encapsulate the existing Atmel routines, add 
config capability for choosing the interface driver code and then test 
it. Would anyone be willing to test it on a AT91xxx platform ??

Would be sad if I just added dataflash capability for my own stuff. 
Others have talked about generalising the dataflash interface,  not too 
long ago..

Can anyone confirm that the environment functions are encapsulated, so 
that the environment could lie in a Dataflash ? A few systems don't have 
a parallel flash at all.

Regards,

Finn Nielsen

Hi,
our at91rm9200 board here has no parallel flash. U-boot+environment is 
in dataflash.
