Hi there,
In FAL-FMD model, I created 3 partitions (PART_BOOTSECTION, PART_BINFS and
PART_DOS32 in the bootloader itself) in NAND flash using BOOTPART.lib which
created MBR in a format recognized by MSPART which when the device boots up,
recognizes the partition table and loads appropriate file system drivers.
In R2's mdd-pdd model flash driver architecture, MSPART.dll is replaced by
FLASHPART.dll which makes use of a different MBR format, different from the
format understandable by MSPART. I noticed that FLASHPART was not able to
detect the partition table (MBR) created by BOOTPART as it is not recognized
by FLASHPART anymore (Ref.: "Flash mdd and pdd driver architecture" from
windows CE documentation).
Following are the relevant questions:
1) Is there a module like BOOTPART that create partitions (at the bootloader
level itself) and MBR which will be recognized by FLASHPART?
2) Where can I get the source code for flashmdd.dll and flashpart.dll?
(there is no option to install shared source code from R2 release DVD)
Thanks in Advance.
