[U-Boot-Users] dataflash problem

[zoldnap at freemail.hu]

Hi,

thank you for your answer!

in the last few hours I've managed to track down that the error is not
in
the address range checking, but in at45.c : AT91F_DataFlashRead
function.
Within that, the AT91F_DataFlashWaitReady function is timeouting
resulting that cmd_mem.c:do_mem_cmd continues execution at line 167,
where it attemts to read non-existing memory..

I dont really know why is this timeout occuring, since I've written
some codes which run natively (without Linux) on the board, and I
can access the DataFlash without problems.

regards,
Zoli
