3.1.7.5.4. Defining New CFI Flash Memory Device

The PFL II IP core supports Intel® - and AMD-compatible flash memory devices. In addition to the supported flash memory devices, you can define the new Intel® - or AMD-compatible CFI flash memory device in the PFL II-supported flash database using the Define New CFI Flash Device function.

To add a new CFI flash memory device to the database or update a CFI flash memory in the database, follow these steps:

  1. In the Programmer window, on the Edit menu, select Define New CFI Flash Device. The following table lists the three functions available in the Define CFI Flash Device window.

    Edit Edit the parameters of the newly added Intel® - or AMD-compatible CFI flash memory device in the PFL II-supported flash database.
    Remove Remove the newly added Intel® - or AMD-compatible CFI flash memory device from the PFL II-supported flash database.
