Re: eCos Flash driver for Fujitsu MBM29DL640E

Hi,
    I found out that Fujitsu and AMD had jointly developed the world`s
first 64MB Flash memory, and eCos repository has support for AMD29DL640D
flash driver which supports 64MB Flash memory, hence is it suggestable
to use the later flash driver for my on board Fujitsu MBM29DL640E flash
rom.
     if yes, then any modifications required to support the above..else
plz direct me links to solve my probs..

As you say it seems likely. Try comparing the docs to look for any differences between the those two parts - there may be none.


btw, if my startup code is from the RAM, do i still need flash
programming tool to download the gdb stub image.

If you have a way to load into RAM then you don't need to program anything into flash unless you want to. Just ensure CYGSEM_HAL_USE_ROM_MONITOR is disabled. You may want to download into flash if you want to use the features of RedBoot (which is preferable to a GDB stub if RedBoot support exists) such as GDB debugging.
