relative to the start of the chip yes. But the chip itself could be physically addressed at, e.g., 0x8000000, and all the programming would be fine. The only issue I've had with physical chip address was on the sc520, where the put a bunch of registers in the middle of the flash address space. thanks ron -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
