Typically not. The kernel tends to rely on the EBC registers being properly programmed by the bootloader/firmware for the devices contained in it's banks. >Here's the problem, i'm getting "kernel access of bad > area" when i erase any of the upper 64mb out of 128mb flash region, > surprisingly i can easily erase (all of the flash) from u-boot. which makes > me ask the earlier question. > That sounds more like a mapping issue than an EBC config issue. Make sure the kernel is calling ioremap on the entire flash memory region. josh -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-embedded" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
