Leonardo - target support limitation: out of the many different flash chip types that - have been used on different Leonardo board variants, the only two we currently - support are Am29DL640G (8 MiB) and whatever was the AMD predecessor of - Spansion PL129J (16 MiB). Fujitsu flash chips (or perhaps Spansion chips - with Fujitsu ID codes) are not currently supported. Tango module flash - (S71PL064J) is fully supported though. +* For operating on GTM900 modem modules, the new -h gen8 loadtools target needs + to be used instead of the old -h gtm900 config which has been removed; while + most GTM900 variants have 4 MiB flash chips, some have been found to contain + S71PL064J (8 MiB) flash instead. + +* For the sake of completeness, added new -h leonardo target to loadtools + config. Flash support limitation: out of the many different flash chip types + that have been used on different Leonardo board variants, the only two we + currently support are Am29DL640G (8 MiB) and whatever was the AMD predecessor + of Spansion PL129J (16 MiB). Fujitsu flash chips (or perhaps Spansion chips + with Fujitsu ID codes) are not currently supported. * A pair of little ad hoc programs has been been added to the FC host tools suite for the purpose of dumping the Calypso chip's internal DSP mask ROM -
