My board has 2 x E28F128J3A150 Intel Strata flash devices at 0x08000000 and a seperate 1Mbyte AMD flash (containing u-boot) at 0x00000000. How do I configure u-boot to identify all of my flash devices?
Does u-boot use CFI to detect flash devices?

I want to use jffs2 root file system on Strata flash
If u-boot is unaware of the other (i.e.Strata) flash will that affect the kernel using jffs2 and mtd subsystem?

Currently when I do flinfo it only returns information about the 1Mbyte flash!

e.g. flinfo

Bank # 1: AMD: 1x Amd29LV800BB (8Mbit)
  Size: 1 MB in 19 Sectors
  Sector Start Addresses:
    00000000 (RO) 00004000 (RO) 00006000 (RO) 00008000 (RO) 00010000 (RO)
    00020000      00030000      00040000      00050000      00060000
    00070000      00080000      00090000      000A0000      000B0000
    000C0000      000D0000      000E0000      000F0000 (RO)

Thanks,
Dave
