Buffered Programming for NOR Parallel Flash and Ingrating with NIOS BSP

Hello everyone,

I am working on a NIOS board integrated with NOR parallel flash. The Altera BSP has a CFI driver for the flash, however it has support for Word programming and the buffered programming method.

The Buffered programming speeds up the flash writing process by 10X. I have the code written for buffered programming. All I need to know is how to make it work i,,e

1) How do i integration this buffPgm_flash() function alone in to the HAL/Flash Driver and not lose the code after ever generate BSP command?

Need steps to achieve this? Any impact/modifications to be done on sopc?

2) Does altera Provides the a standard driver code with the Buffer programming support?

3) Can this be implemented as an application code by pulling the CFI data structures from BSP? If not why?

Regards
