Flash program device manufacturer id

[PaulWalker]

Hi,

For the CodeWarrior Flash Programmer, does the programmer check the manufacturer id in the device config?

I want to use the S29GL-P flash algorithm to program my Micron MT28EW256 device. There isn't an existing device config for this device. If I use the S29GL256P device config I noted the manufacture id is not correct for my Micron device (0x89). Does this matter? Thanks.

<device-file>
<device>
<version>0.1</version>
<content>
<name>S29GL256P</name>
<device_type>nor</device_type>
<manufacturerid>0x01</manufacturerid>
<chiperase>true</chiperase>
<sectors>
<sectorcount>256</sectorcount>
<sectorsize>0x20000</sectorsize>
</sectors>
<ontargetverify>true</ontargetverify>

Please refer to section "4. Creating Flash Device XML Configuration File" in C:\Freescale\CW_PA_v10.5.1\PA\PA_Tools\FlashToolKit\Documentation\AppNote-FlashProgrammer-PowerArchitecture.pdf to create your own configuration file.

Ok. By your reply I assume the 'manufacturer id' does matter. Thus I need to create a new device config.
