Hi Ross

Im having trouble getting my head around partitions. 

If i understand the documentation correctly, the only thing the
concept does it prevent a buggy filesystem or application reading data
from a different partition than it "opened" with
cyg_nand_get_partition(). The partition has zero affect on addressing.

Am i missing something? What else are partitions good for?

   Andrew
