The timing should be fine, as u-boot uses the same as Linux.>> Any idea what goes wrong here? I guessed I missed something in the LPB setup...Check your cache setup - the BDI is most certainly not accessing this via the Data cache whereas Linux probably will be.
Hmm, yes - I didn't touch the vanilla Lite5200B Linux setup there, which has a flash chip at cs1...
If it is really a cache problem (I'm away now from my test board) - isn't a sync sufficient after doing the copy to the external ram (lpb/cs1)? What is the proper approach for devices attached to the localbus?
Thanks, Albrecht.
