Problem using HAL Api

Thank you rugbybloke, I appreciate your response.

I am still suffering the problem.

I am calling:

alt_flash_open_dev("/dev/ext_flash");

system.h has:# define EXT_FLASH_NAME "/dev/ext_flash"

So, I think I have the name right.

I toggled few break points in alt_find_dev().

There seems to be no device registered in the alt_llist* list.

For this reason, I tried calling alt_sys_init() right before alt_flash_open_dev().

when I did this, the devices then seem to be registered in the list.

Using memory dump, I found below devices in the list:

/dev/ext_flash,

/dev/epcs_controller,

/dev/jtag_uart,

/dev/uart1,

/dev/null

but still, alt_flash_open_dev() fails, & returns 0x0

(I am still checking why this happen).

Am I getting any closer? or totally going the wrong way...?
