Dear Prafulla Wadaskar,
In message F766E4F80769BD478052FB6533FA745D19A696EA25@SC-VEXCH4.marvell.com you wrote:
This is only OK, if the memory banks are consecutive without gaps ... is this true for all boards?
Yes, those are consecutive without gaps on all boards so far. But one can configure with gaps too, for ex. If any new board uses two chips with smaller size then it is possibility of gap insertion.
In that case how it should be?
If possible, the memory controller should be configured such that the banks are mapped at different addresses then, so that they again form a contiguous RAM area.
If this is not possible (because the bank base addresses cannot be adjusted), then we have a problem.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
