Re: Intel strata flash -redboot

["Praveen VS" <praveen@spacomp.com>]

We are using customized arm  ADS imx27 board.

 Got the redboot  source with board.

 We are using JS48F4400P0VB00S intel nor strataflash 64MB.

 Redboot what we had got has the support for Spansion Nor flash size 64MB ,
 it is working for the reference board.
 But in our board we have the Intel strata flash.

 Can anybody explain where to change in the redboot so that it will take the
 IntelStrata flash instead of Spansion flash

 Thanks in advance

 Regards
 Praveen
