What kind of information are you wanting to store? The config block should be able to do this for you.

just simple items like a 16 bit ints. When i tried to write directly to one of the addresses in the config. block by getting a physical address and then writing to that address and then reading it back it did not work so I suppose it is more complicated than that. I see a reference in the logic loader User manual p. 17 that says "The structure and field definition header files are available from Logic" and also references to initializing the block but from just that it is not clear to me how to make this work. Is there another more detailed reference? Thanks -
Frank

I found the Logic Application Note 339 which talks about Configuration Block Usage. In Section 5 it lists some steps for "Sharing the Configuration Block with an Operating System" which sounds like what I want to do. BTW, just to be clear, what I want to do is capture something (say an integer value) that corresponds to some piece of user data that may change from time to time, store that data in flash so that after the system is turned off and then back on again that data may be recalled by the application. Anyway, getting back to the app note. In section 5 step 4 it says "Erase the block of flash the configuration block resides in" - my question is, in my application (.cpp file built in Platform Builder 5.0) what do i need to do to: "erase the block of flash the configuration block resides in". TIA - Frank T.

Still cannot seem to get access to the flash from my program. I can see that I have erased a location in the config block free space 0x00050000 (via logic loader) because when I read the value from my program I can see that it changed to -1 from an earlier garbage value 0f -481099760 but when I try to change the value using the logic loader w command nothing happens even though the return value of the w command is 0x0. Thought I might try a different route with lpd_MSFLASHFMD driver but after changing .reg values to the following virtual values as suggested in the app note.

So I'm still stuck. Any suggestions??

I addition the the approach tried in the earlier post thouoght I'd try one more angle so I removed the lpd_MSFLASHFMD componend and installed the YAFSS component and did the erase, add, mount lolo commands as shown below

So... looks like I still need some help here. Thanks -- Frank

Frank,

From the sound of it you're using the flashfmd driver and then trying to access the data via YAFFS in LogicLoader. While I can't specifically solve your issues for you I can offer the following information that should be kept in mind:

http://www.logicpd.com/do...fs_a40x_50_1_1_0.zip

- FlashFMD is not a recommended driver because of its instability at time, this is due to it being Microsoft's code.

- FLashFMD is a FAT format file system, LogicLoader does not use FAT it uses a YAFFS partition. Therefore corruption will occur because you're probably trying to use two different formats in the same block of flash.

- The yaffs driver for Windows CE can be used to share data between Logicloader and Windows CE because they both use the YAFFS file system format.

- Your yaffs partition in Windows CE and in LogicLoader need to be the same size and at the same start and end address in flash memory otherwise corruption is going to occur.

Hopefully this will help you move forward.

Thanks,

Thanks for the help Aaron. I think I am almost there just need one more bit of help.

I loaded the yaffs component and latest version of logic loader and set up storagemanager and set up the partition via logic loader. It boots cleanly and I and can find and open the store and partition from my application. I know this works because I get valid handles to both and can read elements of the STOREINFO and PARTINFO structures into my debug here is a section of the code that does this:

Quote:
hFlashStore = FindFirstStore(&MyStore);
NKDbgPrintfW(TEXT("Store info = %s \r\n"), MyStore.szDeviceName);

hDevice = OpenStore(MyStore.szDeviceName);


DismountStore(hDevice);
FormatStore(hDevice);
FindFirstPartition(hDevice, &MyPartition);

hPartition = OpenPartition(hDevice,MyPartition.szPartitionName);

FormatPartition(hPartition);
MountPartition(hPartition);


NKDbgPrintfW(TEXT("Partition name = %s \r\n"), MyPartition.szPartitionName);
NKDbgPrintfW(TEXT("Partition volume name = %s \r\n"), MyPartition.szVolumeName);

and here is the relevent debug output

My problem is that I can never get a valid handle when I try to then use CreateFile function. I believe my problem is with the lpFileName argument. I have tried various variations on the following line of code

Quote:
hFlashFile = CreateFile(TEXT("DSK1:"),GENERIC_READ|GENERIC_WRITE,
FILE_SHARE_READ|FILE_SHARE_WRITE,NULL,OPEN_EXISTING,
0,NULL);

including "DSK1", "DSK0:", "DSK0", "/dev/flash0", "YaffsPart1", "YaffsPart1:" but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions? TIA. - Frank

Hi Frank,

Have you had a chance to go through the YAFFS driver doc?
http://www.logicpd.com/do...25/1003778_Rev_B.pdf

Thanks,

Hi Aaron,

I went back and carefully read the referenced document. I did have an error in my lpd_yaffs_a40x_50_1_1_0.reg so I removed both the yaffs and storage manager component from my workspace, did a sysgen and checked that my app worked properly which it did. I then modified the lpd_yaffs_a40x_50_1_1_0.reg file and then added both the yaffs component and the storage manager component back into my workspace, did a sysgen and then followed the steps for adding YAFFA Type Partition in the LogicLoader User Manual (erase 0x00f00000 0x00100000, add-yaffs data nor 0x00f00000 0x00100000, mount yaffs /data) and tried to reboot which failed with the following debug output (sorry for the length)

I am wondering if I may have a hardware incompatability. I am using SDK-LH7A400-10-6416 which I purchased from Digikey a couple of years ago. Also I see a references in PB Help to adding an envirnomental variable to use with Storage Manager (SYSGEN_STOREMGR environment variable)(which I did not do since it was not mentioned in your reference document). Anyway, sorry this is taking so much of your time. Thanks for any further suggestions you may have.

Hello Aaron,

Just a little follow up on this. The storage manager build envirnomental variable is not the issue as I learned that this was added automatically. In going back over the whole process one thing that looks strange is my logic loader output when setting up the yaffs partition. The output is:

the line:

looks strange to me. Shouldn't that show the start and stop address i entered i.e. "0: data 0x00f00000 - 0x00ffffff " ?
Thanks again. - Frank
