Specific questions: which chip are you using, what board, what Flash device?
General question: why would you want to use 8-bit Flash access? It would be slower, would not match the TI reference
designs (thus more difficult to debug), and when you need tech support, no one else is using it.

I want to make the board which can access the 8 bit flash for example
At29c010 or any 8 bit PROM.yes it is difficult and slow but lot of memory
easily available are 8 bit .
