    Hi,

    we want to program the flash memory without using BoLo/LoLo. We have erased the flash and we are trying to burn our image at address 0 with arm realview ice tools. We use a program algorithm from intel and we get Low programming voltage detected from flash status register. We also checked this signal (FL_VPEN) with oscilloscope and is always low. Device commands that don't check VPEN (eg. read device id) work fine. Can you suggest something? Is it necessary to use BoLo?

    Thanks

    The VPEN signal is controlled with the onboard IO Controller. The IO Controller has a register called 'Flash Register'. I believe bit 0 of this register controls FL_VPEN. Please check the IO Controller spec for details.

    Thanks,
