On the downside is that you -can't really check whether 'erase' is complete by polling flash as it -is usually done. Instead, the flash driver simply waits for a given -time and assumes that erase then has passed. This behaviour is -identical to what the VxWorks driver does; also, the same timeout (6 -seconds) was chosen. Note that this timeout applies for each erase -operation, i. e. per erased sector. |
