Depends. Flash drivers need to be taught about specific boards. But for
example, RedBoot on the edb7111 has flash support, but it was one of the
"early adopters" and isn't using one of the generic atmel or amd packages
yet. It could probably be made to do so though.
If you have a board using Atmel flash, best to start with the atmel driver
and look at one of the targets that already uses it like the sh edk7708.
BTW, there was a guy (Thomas Edelmann) having trouble with the edb7211
redboot. Any ideas, since you've played with anoncvs recently?
