FMD NOR Flash driver error message

Tutorials Win: Microsoft Windows Forum

Hi ,

I am implementing FMD layer for a NOR Flash , I am doing the following :

- I am using 2 MB of the flash only for the File System ( 0xBF500000-0xBF6FFFFF )
- Block size in this area of the flash is 64K , ( 32 Blocks in the 2 MB area )
-Every block contains 120 sectors ,
-Total number of sectors = 120*32= 3840 ,, and it is multiple of 256 ( 3840=256*15 ) .

I get the following message in the debug window after the driver loads :

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FLASHDRV.DLL:ReadFromMedia() - Unable to determine physical sector address for logical sector 0x00000000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------//

What is the explination of this message ?

Full log is :

It is a normal message (the message shouldn't be in ZONE_ERROR. I'll move
it out in the next release).
