hi,
thank you for your prompt reply.
you're right, sorry i did not check those sizes!
page size of flash is 528byte. flash starts at 0xc0000000

is offset relative to starting flash address?
partition starts at 0x29040 (with 0xc0000000 as base) size is 0x3f6e10
which is a multiple of 528, right?

what does the parameter CONFIG_JFFS2_DEV really mean, is it just a
symbolical name?


thank you
