Re: I still can't see my internal flash

What kind of flash memory are you using?
Does it allow random reads and writes like NOR flash devices?

Hello
I'm desperate, please help.
I have my own FMD, all functions tested, everything without any error. And
I
still can't see it in my OS. I don't know, what to try.
And second point, I found out, that the OS tries to write to first block
many times at the begining (probably it's writing FAT). But in SG NOR
flash
it's not possible to write data at one address more times without erasing
the
block. And after erasing it, system will loose data writen before.
Probably
bad file system. So which one I should use?
If anybody will have any idea, please give it to me.

Here is my registry settings:

IF BSP_SGFLASH_FMD
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\SGFlash]
"Dll"="tse_fmd.dll"
"Order"=dword:0
"Prefix"="DSK"
"Ioctl"=dword:4
"Profile"="SGFlash"
"IClass"="{A4E7EDDA-E575-4252-9D6B-4195D48BB865}"
"MemBase"=dword:A2000000
"MemLen"=dword:02000000

; Override names in default profile
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\SGFlash]
"Name"="MSFLASH for SGFlash"
"Folder"="Internal Flash"
"AutoMount"=dword:1
"AutoPart"=dword:1 ; here I tried to set 0 a as well
"AutoFormat"=dword:1 ; here I tried to set 0 as well

;[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\SGFlash]
; "DriverPath"="Drivers\\BuiltIn\\SGFlash"
; "Dll"="tse_fmd.dll"
; "LoadFlags"=dword:2
; "Order"=dword:0
; "BootPhase"=dword:2
; "mount"="Flash"

; Support XIP in IMGFS
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\MSFlash\IMGFS]
"XIP"=dword:1
"MountAsRoot"=dword:0
"MountAsBootable"=dword:0
"MountPermanent"=dword:1

ENDIF
