[Avila] compact flash help

[Dave]

Sanjay,

It appears you are doing everything correctly. If your CF was probed 
successfully in RB you will be able to see it using the disks command..if 
you cannot see it using disks you won't be able to load anything off it.

I recall there were some timing related issues in RB 2.01 for certain slow 
CFs...which prompted an update to RB 2.02.

I would recommend either trying an alternate CF or flashing your Avila with 
the latest RB. You can get the latest binary at:

http://gateworks.unixstudios.net/BSP/GW15002_Rev_0.6/JTAG%20Software%20and%20Images/

Use a RB binary from there appropriate to the memory size of your Avila.

Thanks!

-Dave
