Re: using fconfig
Looks like strange :
is it normal that when doing a fconfig -i, the call of the flash_erase is
executed
at the same address that the FIS directory,
that is to say, if you take in account that :
Name FLASH addr Mem addr Length Entry
point
RedBoot 0x01000000 0x01000000 0x00020000 0x00000000
RedBoot config 0x0107EC00 0x0107EC00 0x00001000 0x00000000
FIS directory 0x0107F800 0x0107F800 0x00000400 0x00000000
Boot script timeout (1000ms resolution): 0
Update RedBoot non-volatile configuration - continue (y/n)? y
... Erase from 0x0107ec00-0x0107fbff: ...
My Debug string : flash_erase with block: 107f800 / block_size :400
$T0a0f:00000801;0d:f8050
does someone knows ?
