Re: Is there anyone use Spansion Nor flash?

Hi Gary,

I have already got the updated FMD from you. Thanks a lot!
My nor flash starting address is 0xC8000000, and I set
"CodeSizeAtStart"=dword:00000000 and "CodeSizeAtEnd"=dword:1800000 to mask
the Eboot and NK.bin resident in Nor Flash.
If I set "MemBase"=dword:C8000000 (which is the real starting address of
Nor), Wince can only run in RAM, when I flash it to Nor, it can not start and
stops in init FMD, I don't know why. But when I set "MemBase"=dword:C9400000
(this address skips the EBOOT and NK.bin space), Wince can start and I can
see the NORFLASH folder in my Wince. But I can not format this space in
control panel/storage manager, and some time the executable files in this
folder can not be executed, an error dialog appeared, I don't know why. And I
tried to use HIVE register system in my Wince, and the system became very
slow.

My register about this Nor flash is in my first post, my platform is
freescale i.mx21 ADS board. Thanks a lot!

I don't think the FASL FMD that ships with CE supports the CodeSizeAtEnd
registry key.
Is C9400000 the real starting address of the flash? The real starting
address should be used and the MemLen is ignored. The length of the flash
is detected from CFI.

Regards,
Gary

Hi,

I use Spansion Nor flash in my board. According to the service support of
Spansion, I use the driver locate in
:\WINCE500\PUBLIC\COMMON\OAK\DRIVERS\BLOCK\MSFLASHFMD\FASL\FASLD, and set
the
register as below:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\FASLD]
"Dll"="fasld.dll"
"Order"=dword:2
"Prefix"="DSK"
"Ioctl"=dword:4
"Profile"="MSFlash"
"IClass"="{A4E7EDDA-E575-4252-9D6B-4195D48BB865}"
; "MemBase"=dword:C8000000
"MemBase"=dword:C9400000
"MemLen"=dword:200000
"CodeSizeAtStart"=dword:00000000
"CodeSizeAtEnd"=dword:1800000

; Override names in default profile
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\MSFlash]
"Name"="MSFLASH for FASL FLASH"
"Folder"="NORFlash"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\MSFlash]
"DriverPath"="Drivers\\BuiltIn\\FASLD"
; LoadFlags 0x01 == load synchronously
"LoadFlags"=dword:1
"Order"=dword:4



; Override names in default profile
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\MSFlash]
"DefaultFileSystem"="FATFS"
"PartitionDriver"="mspart.dll"
"AutoMount"=dword:1
"AutoPart"=dword:1
"AutoFormat"=dword:1
"BootPhase"=dword:0
"Name"="MSFLASH for SPANSION"
"Folder"="NORFlash"
"MountFlags"=dword:2
;"MountAsBootable"=dword:1

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\MSFlash\FATFS]
"FriendlyName"="FAT FileSystem"
"Dll"="fatfsd.dll"
;"Flags"=dword:00000024
"Paging"=dword:1
"CacheSize"=dword:0
"EnableCacheWarm"=dword:0
"EnableCache"=dword:1
"MountFlags"=dword:2

It can works, but some time the executable files in the NORFlash folder
can
not be executed, and these folder also can not be formatted!
And I tried to use HIVE register, but failed.
Is anyone use these driver? Did you meet the same problem? Thanks a lot!
