I've got a target containing a 4MB Intel StrataFlash. The top 1MB of the part is used by hardware and is not available for normal FIS usage.
Upon examination of RedBoot's FIS code, it appears that it will always use all of flash for FIS (after reserving a portion for RedBoot+config as required). Would the maintainers be willing to entertain an FIS package option that could be used to limit the region of flash used? It might be useful to allow low-level RedBoot CLI access to that top 1MB so that under certain circumstances the data in that section could be updated, but I would definitely need it to be untouched by commands such as "fis init -f". Or should I just hack the StrataFlash driver so that it returns a flash_info.end value that's 1MB below the top end of the part? The RedBoot and eCos flash code always erases blocks individually so I'm not going to loose that top 1MB to an entire-chip erase operation, right? -- Grant Edwards [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Before posting, please read the FAQ: http://ecos.sourceware.org/fom/ecos and search the list archive: http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss
