Antonio,

Digi is migrating to that part on new revisions of their hardware, and released a patch back in May for both DC 9 and DC 10 which adds compatibility for the new flash part.

Here’s the Knowledge Base article regarding the change: http://knowledge.digi.com/articles/Knowledge_Base_Article/Serial-Flash-End-Of-Life-Patch-Support

And a direct link to the patch for DC 9.62 and 10.72: http://ftp1.digi.com/support/documentation/40002882_A.zip

If you’re using any core modules or SBCs with serial flash parts, you might want to install that patch now so any binaries you compile will be compatible with new hardware once it ships.

Why do you want to replace the flash on a Rabbit module? Originally you saidthe flash was obsolete. Can't you just buy a new module?

Subject: [rabbit-semi] Re: Serial Flash AT45DBxx1E as boot flash doesn't work

looking at the flash.ini file, I think the AT45DB321 entry there is a typo as the device characteristics are all wrong and the Manufacturer/device ID of 1F34 is not correct. I don't know why it is id'd as an AT49F002T as that has device ID 1F08 and the AT45DBxx1E is 1F27. Have you added a correct entry for the AT45DBxx1E with device ID !F27 to the file?

Peter

The model I'm using (AT45DB321E) is already included in flash.ini, but it is erroneously detected as a AT49F002T [1F08].
The AT45DBxx1E has a 2 bytes status register.
The AT45DBxx1D has a 1 byte status register.
I've modified the source code in order to work correctly with 2 bytes status register devices, but I can't anyway load the IDBLOCK correctly.

Someone has something more to suggest?

I assume you are using Dynamic C, did you edit flash.ini to include the new part?

Subject: [rabbit-semi] Serial Flash AT45DBxx1E as boot flash doesn't work

Serial flash AT45DBxx1D is obsolete.
I have substituted it with the new AT45Dbxx1E model but I have problem using it as boot flash.
Fails when programming the IDBLOCK.
Does anyone found a solution?

PS: I'm using it on a Rabbit 6000 board (RCM67xx).

TIA

I've just received this email:

use AT45db321E-shf which is 32 bit and available ok. pls answer me if this is helpful

for you or not

I've already tested the AT45db321E-shf.
It doesn't work.
When trying to configure the IDBLOCK on RCM6700 I get and error just after "Erasing flash..." disappears (I'm using DynamicC v.10.72).

Have you another solution?

I need to replace the serial boot flash because I need a bigger one.
