[U-Boot-Users] WG: AT91RM9200 CFI Flash and Timer Functions sporadically fail - SOLVED -

[Erdmann, Thomas]

The problem was the 32 bit variable "timestamp" in interrupts.c.
The 16 bit timer TC0 is clocked with 30MHz and "software extended" to 32
bit in timestamp. It gets an overflow all ~133s. When the overflow falls
in an flash erase or flash program cycle a false timeout is detected.
My work around is to zero the counter "timestamp" before each
flash_status_check().

Thanks
  Thomas
