Hi,to all

i have built a kind of...thing with the purpose to program a Flash memory
from PC parallel via a CPLD

The Cpld i used is a Xilinx xc95144 and the flash that i got scraped from
surplus(maybe a dvd) is HY29LV160

http://www.hynix.com/inc/pdfDownload.../HY29LV160.pdf

I did the programming software in visual basic,and it looks that i can read
correctly the Flash,at least i can read ascii strings and so on

Well,i can't understand this stuff about unlock cycles,unlock bypass and so
on

what is ,for example a "command"?What is that makes it distinguishible from
a data or an address?

In few words,can anybody reccomand me a link explaining in a more newbie
fashion way how to treat with such devices(28F family included)?

Many thanks to you all

Have a nice weekend

Don't have anything for you. I've always used the
SST parts and their datasheets without much trouble.
