According to the different flash algorithms described in the BDI
manual, this was the closest we found, and it works.
What chiptype do you use today?

None yet I think. We'll commit a patch soon which supports the Siemens
Digital Powerline Modem (DPM).

Our U-Boot/Linux hardware is based on Analogue & Micros Adder Module,
but modified a bit (different flash and SDRAM,
contains an FPGA, an AVR and a TI DSP).
