Limitations for this Release:
-----------------------------

(Reference numbers agree with header comments in driver)

2. This template driver has been written to support X16 devices only, and must be
heavily modified to support X32 devices.

3. This file contains definitions specific to the Motorola Coldfire* 5272 board 
& Intel's customized expansion setup. The driver has not been tested on other devices,
and must be adopted to that hardware before use.

4.The constant address TMPL_DEF_PARTITION_ADDR will be used to read or write data to 
the device in these functions. In these cases, the address written/read is not important
and will not alter the state of the device. Other functions accept a 'partitionAddr' as
a parameter if the issued command address is important.

5. The template algorithm package is designed for single
threaded environments only.  Testing has only occured
in single threaded environments. No testing has occured
in multi-threaded environments and the design does not
directly provide multi-threaded support. Many flash operations require
several command cycles to complete. In a multi-threaded environment,
interrupting these commands will leave the device in an indeterminant
state. Care should be taken to make these functions atomic at the 
thread level if being used by more than one thread concurrently.
