Fast Flash For Onboard Flash

Hi,

for what Controllers does a fast flash algorithm exists?
I think with 'workspace' parameter OpenOCD supports this
feature in general.
I think it exits for the LPC2000 devices but not for the
STR71X I'm working with?
I think someone from anglia is working on the last.
Maybe there is a way to support or accelerate the development?

Regards,
Jörg

Hello Jörg,

the working_area command provides a generic facility for OpenOCD code to request buffers on the target without interfering with each other, like the flash writing code and the DCC download handler.

Currently, fast flash programming is supported by the LPC2000 code and the CFI code for Intel compatible flashes.
Spencer Oliver from Anglia is working on fast flash writing support for STR7xx, but hasn't had time yet to merge his changes with the current mainline. Unfortunately, I don't know what remains to be done. Maybe Spen gets to read this himself.

Regards,

Dominic
