at91rm9200dk -AT49BV642D flash
Hi all,
We have at91rm9200dk board it is working with AT49BV642D now can we change flash to AT49BV642DT
without touching the source code. (in uboot or kernel ) .
We are not using this flash for booting the uboot ( used for storing log files in application side)
So is there any modification required in code.
With Best Regards

If that Flash is not used by U-boot, then replacing it (or removing it altogether) will obviously not affect U-boot.
What would be affected is the application that U-boot will transfer control to, but that's outside the scope of this list.

This is not really correct.
On the DK you can boot from NOR flash, and then the flash is extremely important for U-Boot.
But the only really critical thing is if the location and size of the environment sector mtches; as far as I can see the default location has it at offset 0x50000, i. e. already in the "big" 0x10000 uniformly sized sectors.
So replacing the flashes with a top sector type should be uncritical, indeed.
Best regards,
