I don't expect them to be included as is, but once I get the assignment form done I'll be working to get it into a suitable state for inclusion. I'd been putting it off waiting for the transfer of copyright to the FSF, but I shall talk to management about transferring to eCoscentric in their roll as a copyright clearing house until the transfer goes forward. An overview of the new interface is in packages/io/flash/current/interface.txt (I suspect it is a little out dated though). strataflash is the only driver which uses the new API. I have used it successfully with JFFS2 as well as the redboot fis and fconfig commands for quite some time. As I mentioned last time the patch has three parts: The mods to the core flash API (packages/io/flash); The mods to the drivers; The mods to redboot to use the new API; Once the io/flash part is done then the drivers can be converted one by one. I have boards with flash parts supported by both old and new drivers and they work fine. The old redboot code should continue to work using the compatibility stuff enabled by CYGSEM_IO_FLASH_LEGACY_COMPAT. However I would recommend swapping over Red Boot at the same time as io/flash. For reference my previous post of the patch is http://sources.redhat.com/ml/ecos-discuss/2003-07/msg00282.html Ian. -- Ian Campbell, Senior Design Engineer Web: http://www.arcom.com Arcom, Clifton Road, Direct: +44 (0)1223 403 465 Cambridge CB1 7EA, United Kingdom Phone: +44 (0)1223 411 200
