21 years agoWe are developing a board that will be using the Spansion S29GL128M flash part.
I am very concerned about the level of software support for this part. I'm worried that the flash programmer will work properly, as well as the MTD drivers under Linux. I have this listed as one of the primary risks of the project. I was also told by our local AMD rep. that the Spansion part is the best choice for new designs and that it is CFI compliant. Are there enough people using this flash part to pressure Altera into officially supporting it in their SOPC builder? As for the Linux MTD support, I'll have to see what the MTD project has available and possibly make the changes myself.
