[ECOS] Flash problem with Intel P30

[Abraham Celik]

Hi Guys,
 
I am using an intel 28f256p30B flash on my ixp425 board. I get the following
upon boot up:

_________________________________________________________
 
+**Warning** FLASH configuration checksum error or invalid key

And now it stays like that. 

The question i have is how do i set up the flash system locking/unlocking
mechanism for the P30 series. How do I change the flash size to suite the
256P30?
 
I notice when it boots up it says ""FLASH: 0x50000000 - 0x50020000, 4 blocks
of 0x00008000 bytes each"". How do I increase the number of blocks
available?

I can upload things to RAM, but cant create/move them to flash due to the
=a2 or =a92 errors. I imagine that I could try and unlock sectors manually,
but it seems that the flash size is reporting incorrect.

Any ideas?
 

Regards, 

Abraham
