Hi Sachin,

 

            I need some help urgently! Please help me resolve the
following issues.

 

1. I am using BootPart to create to partitions on my NAND flash, one
is a Binfs part and the other is the Fat Part. But I am a bit confused
with the registry settings for this. The current situation is that CE
detects my Binfs part and shows the folder "Resident Flash". But it
fails to mount the Fat partition although it detects it.

 

2. When I create the Fat partition using BootPart
(BP_OpenPartition) I see that this partition does not contain the BPB.
So, now I manually right a BPB at this location of the flash. But the
FSD driver gives me the usual error of "invalid BPB…..". I fixed this
issue by modifying the BPB. But, now I get the message "No Cache
setup…….". After this nothing happens on the system and I get a lot of
Data Aborts.

 

 

Basically, I want to use the remaining flash as a Fat system for
storing user data. Please help me on this!!!..

regards,
Rajesh
