I want to divide my flash into two parts and the two parts should be independent of each other. My question is this one. One partition i am planning to use for linux and the second for some other OS. So i want the two parts to be independent.
_Creating partitions on the flash is something which effects only the operating system(s) you are going to use. No special changes to U-Boot are needed for this.
In the flash.c file of omap5912osk the function flash_get_size is wrinting some values to the 0x5555, 0x2AAA and 0x5555 locations. Do i have to do the same thing for my second partition also?
U-Boot operates on the whole physical flash memory, without knowing anything how an OS might interpret the data in the flash, and without having any notation of partitions or the like.
Where can i specify the starting and ending addresses for my two partitions= ?
You cannot, but this is no problem, as you don't have to. There is no part in U-Boot where such information is needed.
Best regards,
