Hi.
I trying to run openwrt on netgear wndap350 and have some issue. Openwrt don't see flash memory.
Seems wndap350 almost copy of wndr3700. It has same SoC - AR7161, NOR flash - mxic mx25l6445emi-10g - 8MB, Ethernet - AR8021.
In original firmware:
"
....
7 cmdlinepart partitions found on MTD device ar7100-nor0                                                                                                                                                                         
Creating 7 MTD partitions on "ar7100-nor0":     
...
"
In OpenWRT
"
Atheros AR71xx SPI Controller driver version 0.2.4
Atheros AR71xx hardware watchdog driver version 0.1.0
ar71xx-wdt: timeout=15 secs (max=25)
" and nothing about flash on spi0.0

#include <linux/spi/flash.h>

check if your model is listed in that file.

file include/linux/spi/flash.h has only definition of mtd_partition struct...
Maybe flash connected not on spi0.0?

alright, this is probably the file you need to look out for: drivers/mtd/devices/m25p80.c (from your kernel dir). take that as an example how to do it: https://dev.openwrt.org/changeset/27073

I append "{ "mx25l6445e",  INFO(0xc22017, 0, 64 * 1024, 256, 0) }," but nothing changes.

I guess in that case it would be the best idea to download the sdk and have a look how netgear managed to support the flash.

I found ar7100_flash.c(from netgear SDK) in dd-wrt - http://svn.dd-wrt.com/browser//src/linu … 00_flash.c. I assumes that this flash works on dd-wrt
