[U-Boot-Users] Configuring Spansion flash

[Yasothabalan Ramaswamy-TLS,Chennai]

So how shall I proceed next Ben.
Where and in which file this configuration is done?

Whenever I trace out which flash is detected, it always gets detects as
FLASH_UNKNOWN.

In flash.c file....

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
ulong flash_get_size (FPWV *addr, flash_info_t *info)
{
	int i;
	FPWV* addr2;

	/* Write auto select command: read Manufacturer ID */
	/* Write auto select command sequence and test FLASH answer */
	addr[FLASH_CYCLE1] = (FPW)0x00AA00AA;	/* for AMD, Intel
ignores this */
	addr[FLASH_CYCLE2] = (FPW)0x00550055;	/* for AMD, Intel
ignores this */
	addr[FLASH_CYCLE1] = (FPW)0x00900090;	/* selects Intel or AMD
*/

	/* The manufacturer codes are only 1 byte, so just use 1 byte.
	 * This works for any bus width and any FLASH device width.
	 */
	udelay(100);
	switch (addr[0] & 0xff) {

	case (uchar)AMD_MANUFACT:
		info->flash_id = FLASH_MAN_AMD;
		break;

	case (uchar)INTEL_MANUFACT:
		info->flash_id = FLASH_MAN_INTEL;
		break;

	default:
		info->flash_id = FLASH_UNKNOWN;
		info->sector_count = 0;
		info->size = 0;
		break;
	}

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

OK. That's a good start. This is a very common flash type.

I don't know anything about this board or processor, but there are 
people here who do. Please elaborate on what you mean by 'U-boot code 
doesn't detect this flash', and provide details on the steps you've 
taken to reach this conclusion.

Also, please don't top-post. Post responses directly after the relevant 
parts of e-mail messages. The previously-mentioned curmudgeons will eat 
your children if you continue this habit.

Ben
