Hi all,
According to the EB40A schematics ("Flash Memory Devices", figure
6-8 page 6-9), the AT49BV1614 part's RDY/~BUSY line is connected to the
AT91R4K8's P10/IRQ1 line. However, I don't see any reference to this
connection in the file
ecos-cvs/packages/devs/flash/atmel/at49xxxx/current/include/flash_at49xxxx.inl
Instead, I see (on lines 77 and 78)
#define FLASH_Busy FLASHWORD( 0x40 ) // "Toggle" bit, I/O 6
#define FLASH_InverseData FLASHWORD( 0x80 ) // I/O 7, Inverse data
---------------
Some questions:
---------------
What is this InverseData term?
I do not see any references to pins P6 or P7 in the schematic, so what
is meant by "I/O 6" and "I/O 7" in the flash_at49xxxx.inl file ?
How does eCos determine the Busy status the the flash chip? I don't see
a reference to CYGNUM_HAL_INTERRUPT_EXT1 (IRQ1), or to the P10 line
shown in the schematic. It appears to use a busy loop with
FLASH_InverseData somehow, but I dont know what InverseData is or does.
Since this flash driver does not appear to use the P10/IRQ1 line (or the
RDY/~BUSY pin on the flash chip), does this mean that I can use the IRQ1
line for my own purposes?
If this info is available somewhere, please point me in that direction.
Thanks,
George Pantazopoulos
