[U-Boot] [PATCH] cfi_flash: use CFI driver without a monitor program

[Masahiro Yamada]

Hello, Stefan,

Thank you for your reply.

> Could you please explain, what a "monitor program" is?

I don't actually know what a "monitor program" is.
But, I just thought it is like a stab program used
by GDB or something.
(I am not using GDB either, but somehow I just imagined so.)

You mentioned "monitor" is U-Boot image, and I read README file.
Now I realized I had completely misunderstood
the meaning of "monitor".

> Is it correct to assume, that you are using the CFI NOR flash driver,

Yes.
U-Boot is located sometimes in SRAM, or sometimes in NOR flash
or other cases in NAND.
(My SoC board is a little special.
Memory devices such as SRAM, NOR flash, NAND flash can be attached
to kind of expantion slots of SoC board,
which allows to easily change boot devices.)


Please let me retract this patch.
I'm sorry for wasting your time.


Best Regards
Masahiro Yamada
