Re: [U-Boot] Reg. CFI flash_init and hardware write protected devices

Dear Frank,

CFI flash chips with the level of write protection you implemented have to be dealt with in the same way as other ROM memory. =A0Normal CFI driver are not appropriate here.

Ok. So you recommend I stop "hacking" the CFI probing and instead write a custom flash map driver?

No. Never write new drivers when you can use existing ones :-)

Describe the flash memory as "mtd-ram" (instead of "cfi-flash") in the device tree and select the physmap driver in your kernel config.

Best regards,
