One "readme" says that a folder named "Display" must be in the root directory and the other "readme" says that a folder named "Display messages" has to be in the root directory. But, it does not indicate which files need to be in which directory. Thanks Jim On Tue, 01 Nov 2005 11

Most SPI EEPROM's need the write enable to be set, which is another command that must be shifted into the part before sending the WRITE command. The enable may also be cleared on CS going high during the two commands. Otherwise, nothing will happen. Check the datasheet. Larrie. >

The file below is my dataflash library. It is a professional implementation, but I can make it open source here because you can't know the real application (which is very big). Some comments: SPI is mode 3, I can't remember why, but I can remember this was a 'must' at that time.

My guess , never having read anything, is that TWI might stand for 3-wire-interface. such as SPI I2C is a 2-wire interface, and funnily enough it's usually that one which is anonymised, as it is ( or was ) a Philips patent. D.
