From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Ulf Samuelsson Date: Wed, 30 May 2007 01:31:55 +0200 Subject: [U-Boot-Users] Effect of Large flash memories Message-ID: <465CB7EB.8060809@atmel.com> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: u-boot@lists.denx.de I think when we do a new interface we need to look at how we handle situations where the flash is much larger than the SDRAM. It is conceivable that you would want to copy a 300 MB JFFS2 file system from a USB key to internal NAND flash in a system which only has 64-128 MB of SDRAM. An explicit command loop to do this is IMHO too complex and error prone. A command which copies between different storage locations is therefore desirable. (It would need intermediate SDRAM buffers) -- Best Regards, Ulf Samuelsson -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
