You can not simply write the flash like this. Special operations are
needed to write values into the flash memeory. STMicro provides
application notes which explain the needed operations. There is also a
"UART-bootloader" example available from www.st.com which demonstrates
"write to flash". I offer a port of the ST bootloader for the GNU
toolchain on www.siwawi.arubi.uni-kl.de/avr_projects/arm_projects.

Martin i hv config Dataflash means initilize of data flash already .
plz tell me for reading and writing is it needed to call Flash read and
write function given by ST ?
is there any option by using pointer like we can directly readwrite ?

Regards

Dataflash is a trademark from Atmel for external flash-memories. Most of
them get connected by SPI some offer a memory-bus. Writing to Atmel
Dataflash and to the internal Flash of STR71x are compelty different
tasks. The hint I have given in the previous post are for the internal
flash since this is how I understood your question (and the memory
target address indicated this). For Dataflash see the application note
"using dataflash" from atmel.com and the datasheet. (when using
Dataflash with SPI take care of the SPI-mode)

I don't think so.
