Hi,

I still can't get the flash going with the new hh.org bootloader. I guess we 
have to use virtuall addresses. If the flash would appear to be contiguous, I 
guess bootldr wouldn't have any problem detecting it. I have never worked 
with virtual addresses though and as I'm just 17 years old and not the best 
coder yet, I currently don't know how to create virtual address ranges.
Could someone give me a short "how to" in setting this up?
Flash bank 0 starts at 0x0 which can be reached by bootldr, but bootldr 
expects the next bank at 0x01000000 (but it's 0x08000000 on the simpad). So 
we just need to map 0x08000000 --> 0x01000000 (or any other address as long 
as the flash appears to be contiguous) and all should be OK.

How can I do this?

cya
Alex
