答复: flash_rom start and size

[YhLu]

For example, 
1. I only want to let end user to flash normal part [0-384k), and don't let
him touch fallback part [384k, 512k).
2. or I only want to update the payload image in the beginning, [0,64k). 

Regards

Why do you want to do this ? You should prepare the image
the same size as your flash chip.

There are techinical difficulty doing this. Most flash
parts are block/sector erase and byte program. There is
no general way to start from an abitrary address to any
size.
