Re: [U-Boot] Mixed 8/16 bits NOR FLASH support (was: [PATCH V2 3/3] Add support for the LaCie ED Mini V2 board)

Dear Stefan Roese,

In message 200912021015.34183.sr@denx.de you wrote:

Maybe. I don't remember ever using an mixed-mode chip (8 & 16bit interface) in 8bit mode.

Indeed. I wonder which arguments the hardware designer has to defend such an implementation.

I have to admit, that I'm not totally sure about this problem. Perhaps it would be best, if you would try to "fix" to the CFI code. To verify, if your theory is correct. And then post the resulting fix to the list, so that we can discuss it here.

Agreed. Eventually the READ ID could / should be combined with the 8/16 bit test, at least for this specific device ID.

Um... what does the Linux kernel code do in this case?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
