AM29LV065D FLASH read, erase, program?

Hi Mike,

Just remember that the character-mode driver and the block-mode driver don't map

the minor number and partitions the same way -- probably to keep us from getting

confused ;-)

partition 0: mtdblock minor 0, mtd char minor 0, mtd char minor 1 (RO)

partition 1: mtdblock minor 1, mtd char minor 2, mtd char minor 3 (RO)

and so on ....

The best way to get started is to erase the partition using a known good tool, like

u-boot. An erased partition will mount just fine as an mtd block device -- it'll just be

empty. Then you can copy some files to it, reset, remount ... and the files should be

there. This is a real simple way to confirm proper operation of JFFS2 and the block

driver. If this doesn't work, you'll need to check how you create the JFFS2 image

(things like block size, endian-order, etc) and perhaps any problems with the

mtd utils (e.g. erase).
