RE: [ECOS] Flash detection

[Jay Foster <jay dot foster at systech dot com>]

You might want to check your configuration.  You state that you are using 2
(16-bit?) devices in parallel to form a 32-bit wide device.

You should probably define
	#define CYGNUM_FLASH_INTERLEAVE (2)    // 2 devices in parallel
	#define CYGNUM_FLASH_SERIES     (1)    // Only one series
	#define CYGNUM_FLASH_WIDTH      (16)   // Each device is 16-bits
wide

I'm not sure if CYGNUM_FLASH_DEVICES needs to be 2 or 1 in your case, as the
driver does some automatic arithmetic when the CYGNUM_FLASH_INTERLEAVE is 2.

The write signal is allowed, actually the flash enters the query mode 
and read ID mode succesfully. We have traced it with a logic state 
analyzer. we can see all this data string : 0x00890089, 0x00180018, 
0x00510051 and blah blah blah....
I can't understand why all the information is in the bus (apparently 
succesfull read query and ID process) but the driver is still saying 
that can't not recognise the device...

Sorry, I didn't express it correctly... what I meant is that we have 
two devices in parallel to form a 32 bit path 

The configuration lines are:

in altair_strataflash.inl->

#define CYGNUM_FLASH_DEVICES     (2)
#define CYGNUM_FLASH_BASE        (0x00000000u)
#define CYGNUM_FLASH_BASE_MASK   (0xFE000000u) // 2 * 16Mb devices
#define CYGNUM_FLASH_WIDTH       (16)
#define CYGNUM_FLASH_BLANK       (1)

#define FLASH_P2V(x) ((volatile flash_t *)(((unsigned)(x) < 0x1000) ? \
                             ((unsigned)(x) | 0xa0000000) : \
                             (unsigned)(x)))
