RE: [microblaze-uclinux] PetaLinux and ML501 - issue



Hi John,
Just to let you know, I may not be near my board for a few days/weeks to
try this out (traveling) - but as soon as I do get a chance I'll report
back.
Thanks for your help!

Cheers
John

Can you try disabling datawidth matching in the HW build, and update the

auto-config.in file?

Run petalinux-copy-autoconfig from the EDK project directory - then 
"make clean all" from petalinux-dist.

datawidth matching is convenient for reading from 16-bit flash but it's 
a pain for writing, because it munges the flash state machine commands.

Thanks,

John
