RE: (assabet) Block erase timed out


You can erase it more than 100,000 times. Just try rebuilding your redboot with the time-out value increased.
Current setting of 50000 sometimes causes problem in my hardware. I increased it to 500000 and it works fine.
packages/devs/flash/intel/strata/current/src/flash_erase_block.c
int flash_erase_block(...
{
...
int timeout = 50000 -> 500000
...

Subject: [ECOS] (assabet) Block erase timed out


Hello,

I tried to write redboot.bin to assabet but got this:

Starting erase
Error, Block erase timed out

Does anybody know what's wrong?   How many times can I
write to the flash memory?  I have been written to the
flash memory hundreds (maybe thousands) times since
purchase.  Is it possible that I have reached the
limit?

Thank you for your help.
