[U-Boot-Users] Flash organization
The boot flash on the KEV7A400 has two sizes of blocks. The first 64KiB is in 8KiB blocks. The rest (63 blocks) are each 64KiB. Will u-boot write memory correctly if I put these blocks into two banks?

A "bank" is the logical term for what memory is addressable using the same chip select signals. So in your case ther eis obviously just *ONE* bank of flash memory.
There is absolutely no problem when the erase units within a bank of flash memory have different sizes. Of course your flash driver will have to fill in the flash_info struct correctly.

Ah. So it assumes that the size of a block is start[n+1] - start[n]. Excellent.

I do. Usually from 2:00 to 8:00.

Correct.
