Creating NOR Flash Partitions on the AM1808

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM1808

Hi,

I am currently trying to register a NOR flash device using the 3.3 Linux kernel running on a custom hardware platform based on the AM1808. I have configured my kernel for the AM1808 Reference EVM and I am able to successfully boot into my root filesystem. However, I am not able to access or create partitions on the NOR flash device.

Previously, I was able to access and create partitions on the NOR flash device using the 2.6.33 Kernel. I noticed one big difference between the two versions of the kernel. The 2.6.33 kernel uses the davinci-nor.c file to access and setup the NOR flash device. On the hand, the 3.3 Kernel does not use the davinci-nor.c file. Could someone please help me modify the code or the kernel config to allow me to access and partition my NOR flash device using the 2.6.33 kernel.

FYI, I want to upgrade to the 3.3 kernel to take advantage of the CMUX capabilities.
