#172338 - But it's not an omission!
Responding to: ???'s previous message

How does this matter as long as the data flash CAN be used through IAP?

Because the fact that the datasheet specifically and explicitly says that it can be done can lead you to waste a whole load of time fruitlessly trying to find out how!

It also leaves that nagging doubt that the datasheet is actually correct and there is a way...

And the IAP, as you say, is not (very) convenient.

Datasheets are notoriously full of similar omissions.

It's not an omission - it is an explicit statement that is, apparently, wrong.

Let this be the worst of it.

No! (potential) users should complain loudly so that Wiznet correct it!
