so we're clear, the proposed interface is: spiflash info spiflash <read|write> address offset count spiflash erase offset count and once this comes together (i dont think it'll take long), we can consider a generic "flash" command. i'm still not sure what it'll gain us (if anything) ... but i guess once we have more things to look at and compare, we can make a better decision -mike
