ETFS: 2k Page Nand Flash.. writing a BSP resMgr  
Hi,

currently the ETFS code contained in our BSP (mpc8313) onyl support small page (512 Bytes) NAND Flash.
We need to patch this very soon to support large page flash (2K pages).

Now on small page NANDs, ETFS uses a cluster of two pages each, i.e. 1024 Bytes per Cluster.

What about large page clusters? Should the cluster still be 1024 Bytes? Or should I use super large clusters of 2048 
Bytes = one large-block instead?
I see a few potential problems both ways...

What is the standard suggested way of doing this?
Do you know of any BSP that already supports 2K Flash so I could take a peek?

Greetings,
 Marc

Marc,

The TI dm355-evm BSP uses 2k page NAND.  It's listed in the "BSP and Drivers" project downloads.   The 2k NAND drivers 
are using 2k clusters, with a 64 byte spare.
