Dear Albert ARIBAUD,
In message 4C121BA7.5070108@free.fr you wrote:
So is there any modification required in code.
If that Flash is not used by U-boot, then replacing it (or removing it altogether) will obviously not affect U-boot.
This is not really correct.
On the DK you can boot from NOR flash, and then the flash is extremely important for U-Boot.
But the only really critical thing is if the location and size of the environment sector mtches; as far as I can see the default location has it at offset 0x50000, i. e. already in the "big" 0x10000 uniformly sized sectors.
So replacing the flashes with a top sector type should be uncritical, indeed.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
