U-Boot - kongs - 14:38 30-07-05
Hi, Does anybody tell me how can I delete completly an atmel dataflash wit U-Boot. I try this first: 1. I unprotect the areas of the dataflash. 2 then i want to erase but i become follow messages: start and/or end adres not on sector boundary. I look at the atmel site datasheet of th dataflash, but i can't find there anything else sector boundaries. Thanks for your answers.

This will tell you what sector size(s) the chip has. - Is the chip is 8-bit or 16-bit mode? Different chips support one or both modes. - What is the flash configuration on the board? x1, x2 or x4, creating an 8-bit, 16-bit or 32-bit interface to the CPU? When you have the answers to these questions, you can then calculate the sector boundaries for your implementation. Chuck

Other questions and issues aside, I'll pick nits here by saying that DataFlash uses SPI, a serial interface. So that would be (for all intents and purposes) a 1-bit interface to the CPU. That said, the source code for U-Boot is readily available and could be reviewed to determine how it deals with sector boundaries for DataFlash devices. Trying to get answers here is a reasonable approach, but one does have access to the code itself as an alternate source of information. -- Dan Henry

And there is the Atmel's at91.com site with many boards using U-Boot and DataFlash. BTW, what does U-Boot's 'flinfo' command report about the DataFlash organization? -- Dan Henry

Set the jumper to "INT" position to force the CPU to run from the internal bootROM. Powerup the system. Since there is no dataflash connected, the CPU will not find a bootable image and will try to download code over USB or UART. Insert the dataflash card. Download the Atmel dataflash loader (into internal SRAM) using Hyperterminal/Xmodem. The CPU will jump to this once completed. You will be presented a menu with three alternatives. 1 Program dataflash 2 List Dataflash 3 Jump to U-boot Select (1) and send the dataflash loader again using Hyperterminal/Xmodem. This time the loader will be programmed into the first sector of the dataflash. Reset the system and you should be running from dataflash. -- A. P. Richelieu
