I noticed that there is some support for the amtel's dataflash (serial flash) in u-boot but it doesn't seem as though it can stand alone without the normal parallel flash.. I see that the Amtel board that is supported by u-boot seems to have both parallel flash and serial flash...

am I understanding this right or no... anyone have any experience in supporting a board with only serial flash?

btw the board that I'm using has hardware in it to copy a simple primary bootloader into sram at reset and then starts executing from there... anyway I was hoping I could just write a lower level driver for my particular serial flash / spi bus and use existing higher level support for the dataflash, but it doesn't seem to work quite well without the parallel flash (flinfo_t) support..

if anyone has any ideas, I'd sure appreciate it...

thanks
