MTD/JFFS2 on Intel 28F160F3

Hi *,

I'm trying to enable MTD and JFFS2 on an Intel 28F160F3 chip but have some problems.

The basic problem is what the physical start address of flash mapping is? While on PPCBoot, I got flash information using command 'flinfo'. The start address is FFE00000. Is this address the one used to configure CFI flash device in physical memeory map? I tried using this address but
'physmap' couldn't find flash device.

root@ib8sw:~# modprobe -a physmap
physmap flash device: 100000 at ffe00000
CFI: Found no Physically mapped flash device at location zero

=> flinfo

    FFFE0000      FFFF0000      FFFF2000      FFFF4000      FFFF6000
    FFFF8000      FFFFA000      FFFFC000      FFFFE000

I haven't dived into the routine 'do_cfi_probe()' yet since I'm not sure if the start address I specified is correct. Any help is greatly appreciated.

It is not a must that the address mapping in PPCBoot is the same as in the kernel.

What board are you using ?
